Belly Button Surgery

USC urologists are world renowned in single port surgery or Laparo-Endoscopic Single Site (LESS) surgery that encompasses various laparoscopic techniques where the entire operation is performed through a single tiny skin incision that can be conveniently hidden within the umbilical scar. LESS could potentially confer similar cosmetic advantages as NOTES without the uncertainty that currently exists with the creation and closure of viscerotomies.

There are only a handful of urologists who have the expertise to perform these procedures. USC urologists are thought leaders in this area and have the largest experience in this field. USC urologists perform the following single port LESS procedures through the belly button for nearly scar-less outcomes:

•    NephrectomyNephrectomysurgical removal of all (radical) or part (partial) of the kidney – removal of diseased kidney
•    Partial nephrectomy - removal of diseased part of the kidney while sparing the healthy part
•    Pyeloplasty – correcting obstruction of the ureter
•    Ureteral reimplant – to treat ureteral stricture
•    Robotic LESS surgery through the belly button for enhanced precision
