Abstract:
Objective To introduce the technique and evaluate the clinical effect of retroperito-neoscopic anatomical radical nephrectomy. Methods One hundred and sixty-eight patients under-went retroperitoneoscopic anatomical radical nephrectomies. The average tumor size was 4.7 cm (ran-ging from 2.0-6.9 era) in diameter. There were 87 tumors in the left kidney and 81 tumors in right kidney. Ninety-two eases were in cli.nieal stage T1a. N0 M0 and 76 in T1b N0 M0. Retroperitoneal space was created routinely at lateral decubitus position. Four relatively bloodless planes were orderly entered for exposure and separation of the kidney outside Gerota's fascia. The first dissection plane was be-tween the psoas and posterior Gerota's fascia. The renal pedicle was found in this plane. The following dissections proceeded in the plane between posterior Gerota's fascia and fusion fascia. The third dissec-tion plane was between adrenal gland and the upper pole of kidney or between the adrenal gland and di-aphragma. The fourth dissection plane was in the bottom of Gerota's fascia. Results All operations were successfully completed. The mean operative time was 138:J:46 min and estimated blood loss was 90±30 ml. The average day of resuming oral intake was 1.3 d and time of ambulation was 1.2 d. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 5.8 d. Peritoneum injuries happened in 14 patients. Omalgia oc-curred in 18 patients and disappeared 2 d after operation. One hundred and twenty-three patients were followed up, they all survived during the average follow-up of 8 months (ranging from 6-18 months);, .Conclusions Retroperitoneoscopie anatomical radical nephrectomy is a safe and effective procedure. It can decrease operation time, blood loss and complication rate remarkably. It is a good option for patients needing radical nephrectomy.
