The original paper (Köllmann et al. 2011) compared flank laparoscopy with a transvaginal laparoscopic approach. The transvaginal approach was not successful and consequently is not discussed in this chapter. The major advantages of the laparoscopic procedure as compared with laparotomy are elimination of the need for general anesthesia and a minimally invasive approach. Disadvantages include costs of laparoscopic equipment and the clinical expertise needed to perform the procedure.
