Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy for tuberculous nonfunctioning kidneys.Methods From October 2003 to November 2006,retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy was performed in nine cases of tuberculous nonfunctioning kidneys in our hospital.Dissecting kidney and ureter with ultrasound scalpel,blocking kidney pedicle with Endo-GIA(n=4) or Hem-o-lok(n=5),kidney was put into kidney bags and taken out.Results All nine cases were performed nephrectomy successfully without conversions to open surgery.The mean of operative time was 110 min(range,90-180 min);the mean of blood loss was 94.4 ml(range,20-200 ml);the mean of postoperative hospital stay was 5.5 days(range,3-8 days).One case had a little cheese-like pura extravasation induced by laceration of kidney capsule.Peritoneum damage occurred in one case.The nine patients showed a primary healing of the wound.Follow-up of 1-38 months in nine cases showed normal function of contralateral kidney.Conclusions Retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy for renal tuberculosis has advantages of minimal invasion,less blood loss and quicker recovery,therefore it is a fairly safe and reliable procedure for tuberculous nonfunctioning kidneys.
