Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Renal Schwannoma Excision

چکیده
Background: To report the first case of a renal schwannoma excised with robot-assisted laparoscopy. Case Presentation: A 43-year-old Caucasian female patient with vague abdominal symptoms was noted to have incidental right renal mass. Physical examination and laboratory tests were within normal limits. CT revealed a 4.6 cm heterogeneous enhancing right renal mass arising near the hilum. RENAL nephrometry score was 11a. She was treated by right robot-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy. She recovered well without complications. Pathology analysis revealed a benign renal schwannoma. Conclusion: Renal schwannoma is a rare kidney tumor. We report the first known case of this tumor excised by robot-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy.

متن کاملRobot-assisted laparoscopic excision of a retroperitoneal paracaval tumor.
During the past few years, robotic surgical systems have been rapidly developed. The progress and advantages of these systems include three-dimensional vision and enhanced ergonomics. These advantages have helped a new generation of minimally invasive surgery to evolve. The da Vinci Surgical System seems to greatly resolve problems (e.g., wide exposure and retraction of peritoneal organs) that ...

متن کاملInitial clinical experience with surgical technique of robot-assisted transperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
BACKGROUND The incidental finding of small renal masses has increased due to widespread use of computed tomography as a diagnostic procedure. Some patients with either exophytic renal masses less than 4 cm and suboptimal renal function, a solitary kidney and bilateral renal tumors, or genetic predisposition to renal tumors are considered candidates for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). A ...
