Abstract:
Objective To explore the surgical skills and clinical value of transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.Methods Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy was performed on 70 patients with renal cancers through the transperitoneal approach. After the lateral peritoneum was dissected, the vessels in the renal pedicle was controlled and the nephrectomy was carried out. Results The transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy was completed in all the 70 patients without conversion to open surgery. The operation time was 90-230 min with a mean of 130 min. No patient received blood transfusion intra- and postoperation. No severe complications occurred in this series. The hospital stay was 4-8 d with a mean of 6.2 d. The patients were followed up for 2-78 months (mean, 47); no recurrence of renal tumor was found during this period. Conclusions Transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy shows high clinical value owing to its advantages in minimal injury, safety, feasibility, and quick postoperative recovery.
