Key-hole surgeries can be done. They will be helpful by early recovery and return to work, smaller scar. The process is generally much safer as there will be less tissue reaction, bleeding, chance of infection. It will be more expensive though. Diabetes needs to be controlled before the procedure. You may discuss the procedure with your Urologist who will provide you the success rate and risks associated according to their regimen as well.
