Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in extremely obese patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy has been widely accepted as the preferred management of low stage renal masses. Endoscopic management is advantageous for its reduction in perioperative and postoperative complications. In the mid-1990s, morbid obesity was considered a relative contraindication to laparoscopic technique. The authors present two cases of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy due to renal tumors in extremely obese patients. The aim of this study is not only to present the operative technique but also to show that the laparoscopic procedure is safe and effective in morbidly obese patients.

Impact of Obesity on Complications of Laparoscopic Simple or Radical Nephrectomy.
OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of obesity on complications in laparoscopic simple or radical nephrectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS The medical files of 215 patients who underwent laparoscopic simple or radical nephrectomy in our center between 2004 and 2014 were reviewed. A body mass index of 30 kg/m² was used to divide the patients into obese and non-obese groups. Pre-operative data and intra...
متن کاملObesity Is an Adverse Factor on Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy for T2 but Not T1 Renal Cell Carcinoma
PURPOSE Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) is more challenging with increases in body mass index (BMI). Several recent studies have shown, however, that LRN can be safely performed even in obese patients. The influence of obesity on the perioperative outcomes of LRN has not been well elucidated for large renal tumors (>7 cm), however. We estimated the impact of obesity on LRN for stage T1 a...

Purpose: We compared renal function outcomes in patients undergoing open or laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. Materials and Methods: Seventy-one patients undergoing open or laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for kidney disease with a normal contralateral kidney were identified between January 2004 and December 2007. Renal function was calculated by using the Cockcroft-Gault formula. Serial renal ...

PURPOSE To report the 5-year oncological outcomes of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal cancer compared to a cohort of patients undergoing open radical nephrectomy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of 88 patients undergoing radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma prior to January 2000. Of these, 45 patients underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectom...
متن کاملComparison of open and laparoscopic nephrectomy in obese and nonobese patients: outcomes stratified by body mass index.
PURPOSE Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy has been accepted as the preferred management for low stage renal masses not amenable to partial nephrectomy. Early in the mid 1990s several studies suggested that obesity should be a relative contraindication to laparoscopy. We present our surgical outcomes and complications in patients undergoing open and laparoscopic nephrectomy, stratified by body ma...
