Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy

European Urology, 2001
Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy has gained in popularity as an accepted treatment modality for localized renal cell carcinoma at many centers worldwide. Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy may be performed via a transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach. Mostly, the transperitoneal approach is used.

Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy

Journal of Endourology, 2000
Although open nephrectomy is the standard of care for localized renal-cell carcinoma, the significant postoperative pain and lengthy convalescence have encouraged the use of laparoscopy, which can yield similar 2- to 5-year survival rates. Either a transperitoneal or a retroperitoneal approach may be used, and sometimes, they are combined.

Hand Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy: Comparison With Open Radical Nephrectomy

Journal of Urology, 2003
We compared the results of hand assisted laparoscopic and conventional open radical nephrectomy.Clinical data on 54 hand assisted and 50 open radical nephrectomies performed at our hospital from September 1999 to October 2002 were reviewed.Mean operative time in the laparoscopic and open groups was similar (194.9 and 180.7 minutes, respectively, p = 0 ...

Hand-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy: comparison to open radical nephrectomy

Urology, 2001
Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery is easier to learn than standard laparoscopy and simplifies intact specimen removal. We present our experience performing hand-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (HALRN) and compare it with contemporary open radical nephrectomy performed at our institution.We performed 18 HALRNs for renal tumors ranging in size

Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy: Comparison with Transabdominal Radical Nephrectomy

The American Surgeon, 2002
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether hand-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (HALN) has benefits over the traditional transabdominal radical nephrectomy. More specifically we focused on the use of the hand-assisted technique as a definitive oncologic procedure for renal cancers.

Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy: The Nagoya Experience

Journal of Urology, 1997
We evaluated the efficacy of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for removing kidneys with small volume renal cell carcinoma.25 patients (19 men and 6 women, mean age 59) who had a kidney with small volume renal cell carcinoma (diameter less than 5 cm.), underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.

Laparoscopic radical and partial nephrectomy

World Journal of Urology, 2000
Laparoscopic nephrectomy has been an alternative to open surgery for benign renal disease since Clayman et al. published the first report of successful laparoscopic nephrectomy in 1991 [5]. Since then, institutions worldwide have published case reports and series of patients treated with laparoscopic simple nephrectomy, radical nephrectomy (LRN ...

Pararectus Retroperitoneal Radical Nephrectomy

Journal of Urology, 1991
We describe a new pararectus retroperitoneal approach to the kidney, which allows easy identification and occlusion of the renal vessels before mobilization of the kidney. This approach potentially reduces morbidity, hospital stay and cost. The technique has been used in 4 cases of radical nephrectomy for tumor and in 1 for pyonephrosis.

Radical nephrectomy

2003
Abstract In 1948 there were almost simultaneous case reports of large renal cell carcinomas (RCC) being removed through a thoraco- abdominal approach. Robson (1963) published a paper describing the procedure of radical nephrectomy (RN) for renal tumours.

Chylothorax as a Complication of Radical Nephrectomy

Journal of Urology, 1993
We report a case of chylo-retroperitoneum and chylothorax following an uneventful left radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma, and propose the mechanism of an infradiaphragmatic lymphatic injury with fistulous connection into the chest. Treatment with oral medium chain triglycerides was unsuccessful.
