Purpose: The popularity of a partial nephrectomy has grown as a consequence of the increased detection of small incidental renal masses. Herein, our experience of laparoscopic partial nephrectomies is reported. Materials and Methods: Between December 2003 and April 2006, 27 cases underwent a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal tumors up to 4cm in diameter. The tumors, and an approximate ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of an internal suspension technique in retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for the management of renal ventral tumors. METHODS Between January 2013 and July 2016, a total of 145 patients underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with or without internal suspension technique. For patients who underwent internal suspension tech...

Nephron-sparing surgery (partial nephrectomy) results are similar to those of radical nephrectomy for small (<4 cm) renal tumors. However, in patients with end-stage renal disease, radical nephrectomy emerges as a more efficient treatment for localized renal cell cancer. Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) increasingly is being performed. The objective of the present study was to present a c...

Wünderlich's syndrome is a spontaneous nontraumatic massive retroperitoneal hemorrhage. It is usually secondary to a renal neoplasm, with angiomyolipoma being the most frequent followed by renal cell carcinoma. The management of spontaneous retroperitoneal bleeding varies depending on the hemodynamic status of the patient. We present the first report of a transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectom...

OBJECTIVE Increasingly nephro-sparing partial nephrectomy has became widely accepted as a preferred treatment option for the select patient when the adenocarcinoma involves a solitary kidney or poorly functioning contralateral kidney, and in patients with synchronous bilateral tumors. While open partial nephrectomy is currently the standard nephron sparing procedure for treatment of renal tumor...

Abstract Background Retroperitoneal fibrosis can be associated with bilateral dense and extensive periureteral adhesions. When ureterolysis could not successfully performed due to disease extent severity, elaborate ureteral reconstructive procedures will required. Case presentation A young male retroperitoneal presented hydroureteronephrosis. The involvement was adhesions were dense. He managed...

Treatment modalities for small renal masses (SRMs) include open or minimally invasive radical or partial nephrectomy, and laparoscopic or percutaneous ablations. Members of the Endourological Society were surveyed to evaluate how practitioner and clinical practice characteristics may be associated with the management of SRMs over time. The survey assessed characteristics of urologists (recency ...

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 re...
