[Transperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in the renal tumor treatment].

Laparoscopic surgery is a surgical technique the urologist should add to his surgical armamentarium. Its performance tries to mimic the surgical phases of open surgery, and also its indications. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a sophisticated technique that requires wide experience in the performance of endoscopic strategies. We are submitting our experience with 35 laparoscopic partial transperitoneal nephrectomies with a mean follow-up of 25 months. The mean surgical time was 200 minutes, the mean bleeding 190 cc, and the mean hospitalisation five days. Two postoperative bleedings were identified, there were no conversions, and positive margins were notified in two cases, where upon a conservative attitude was adopted.
