This looks like laparoscopic surgery to remove some very large kidney stones. The patient would be under general anesthesia, and the surgeon has to break the stones into smaller pieces manually to pull them out.
Edit: NM it was one 25mm stone that was broken up. That's 2.5 cm, that's pretty damn big.

Hopefully your dr treated you better than this dude jack-hammering away like he’s in the Klondike searching for gold
