Laparoscopic nephrectomy: comparison of dialysis and non-dialysis patients.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Laparoscopy is believed to result in possible clinical benefits for the patient. We report our experience with renal laparoscopy in dialysis patients and compare the results with those from non-dialysis patients. METHODS Between December 1994 and April 1997, 19 dialysis patients underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy or nephroureterectomy at our hospital. The group consisted of 11 female and eight male patients (mean age 45 years). In nine patients the indication for nephrectomy was chronic pyelonephritis. Nephroureterectomy for vesicoureteral reflux with recurrent episodes of pyelonephritis or analgesic nephropathy for exclusion of transitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary tract was considered in nine other patients. Laparoscopic bilateral nephrectomy for drug-resistant hypertension was performed in one patient. In comparison, a consecutive group of non-dialysis patients who had undergone renal laparoscopy was reviewed. RESULTS In the dialysis group, one patient had to be converted to open nephrectomy due to bleeding. Six dialysis patients required blood transfusions compared with none in the non-dialysis group. There were four complications in the dialysis group and two in the non-dialysis group. Both groups had comparable results for operative times, analgesic consumption, postoperative start of oral intake and mobilization, and duration of hospitalization and convalescence. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic nephrectomy in dialysis patients has acceptable results. The higher transfusion rate is probably due to a lower preoperative haemoglobin and is not aggravated by possible affects of the clotting system in patients with chronic uraemia.

Transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for patients with dialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease: an analysis and comparison of perioperative outcome.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate LRN as treatment for high risk patients. Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) is performed for renal tumors not amenable to nephron-sparing treatments. Indications are increasing to include higher risk patients including those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) necessitating dialysis. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of a patient cohort with clinical sta...

Background: Laparoscopic techniques for the placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters are becoming increasingly popular. Recently, with the improvements in laparoscopic surgery, various methods for the insertion of peritoneal dialysis catheters have been reported, indicating that the laparoscopic insertion is preferred over the open and percutaneous techniques. The aim of this study was to int...
متن کاملThe outcome of nephrectomy in peritoneal dialysis patients.
Data regarding the outcomes of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients undergoing nephrectomy are limited. In the 20-year retrospective study reported here, we included patients who underwent nephrectomy and then subsequently started PD within 1 year (group A) and those who underwent nephrectomy while already on PD (group B). We examined mechanical complications including incisional hernia, peritonea...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an accepted modality for managing end-stage kidney disease. We herein report a 75-year-old female patient on chronic PD who was complicated by renal cell carcinoma. She was successfully treated with retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy followed by a prompt resumption of the procedure. Various surgeries disturbing the abdominal wall integrity often disrupt...
متن کاملLaparoscopic living-donor nephrectomy.
BACKGROUND In order to increase the number of renal donors, laparoscopic live-donor nephrectomy (LLDN) was first performed 8 years ago. Today, LLDN is a routine procedure in many centres worldwide. We reviewed the literature with regard to extend the use of this method, the feasibility and safety for donor, graft and recipient. Laparoscopic and open-donor nephrectomy are compared, and the impac...
