Popis:	Objectives: The application of laparoscopy in urology is increasing in Hong Kong. In the present paper the development of laparoscopic urology in Hong Kong is portrayed. The variety of laparoscopic urological operation that have been developed is defined, as well as interesting features associated with its development. Methods: A search on presentation/publications on laparoscopic urological topics by local authors were carried out on the electronic database supplemented by a manual hand search from January 1991 to November 2002. Results: A total of 68 presentations were identified covering a variety of urological topics including some of the most complex reconstructive procedures. The first report was in 1994. The three most presented topics were on paediatric urology, adrenalectomy and nephrectomy. Up to 45% of the reports were contributed by or collaborated with another specialty. Conclusions: Laparoscopic urology had a good foundation and able to keep pace with the world development. Cross specialty collaboration and interaction is an important feature in its development.
