Understanding potential intraoperative impediments for learning laparoscopic nephrectomy.
PURPOSE We evaluated factors that impact the ability to learn hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HALDN) to identify impediments to diffusion of this procedure. METHODS From February 2002 to June 2004, we collected data from our institutional database on 70 patients who underwent HALDN. Time for individual steps of the procedure (colon mobilization, kidney/ureter mobilization, renal...
متن کاملComparison of Laparoscopic Versus Conventional Open Partial Nephrectomy in Dogs
Objective- Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) has been proven to be a safe and effective technique in human. This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and safety of utilizing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in dogs and to compare this technique with open routine partial nephrectomy for the first time in Iran. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Sixteen large mixed-breed femal...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Nephrectomy for Wilms Tumor
Wilms tumor is the most frequent primary renal malignancy in children. The surgical resection is traditionally performed through laparotomy. The advent of laparoscopic surgery for benign renal lesions has led the surgeon to use a minimal invasive approach for the nephroblastoma. We describe a 9-months-old girl who presented with a left renal mass. A laparoscopic resection of the tumor with left...
متن کاملTransition From Laparoscopic to Robotic Partial Nephrectomy: the Learning Curve for an Experienced Laparoscopic Surgeon
BACKGROUND The complexity of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) has prompted many laparoscopic surgeons to adopt robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) for the treatment of small renal masses. We assessed the learning curve for an experienced laparoscopic surgeon during the transition from LPN to RPN. METHODS We compared perioperative outcomes of the first 20 patients who underwent RPN to the...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy
Partial nephrectomy is emerging as the standard of care for small exophytic renal tumors <4cm regardless of renal function status. In comparison to radical nephrectomy, studies have demonstrated equivalent oncologic control and decreased risk of renal insufficiency. While laparoscopic radical nephrectomy has been widely adopted as the procedure of choice for large renal masses, laparoscopic par...
