Abstract:
A laparoscopicradical nephrectomy or nephrouretectomy with bladder cuff excision are acceptable treatments for renal or upper urinary tract malignancies, respectively. However, laparoscopic surgery in dialysis patients is associated with high morbidity due to the long operation time and intraabdominal insufflation of carbon dioxide. Herein, two cases of a renal cell carcinoma and an urothelial carcinoma in dialysis patients are reported.
