Abstract:
Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is gaining more and more popularity in treating patients with early renal carcinoma in recent years. Compared with radical nephrectomy, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a mini-invasive, safe method with satisfactory postoperative survival rate. However, there were still limited laboratory and clinical data about laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, and the experimental data of traditional laparoscopic surgery and open surgery were still used. Based on the existing data and the authors' experience, this article proposes three hypotheses for the problems puzzling urologic surgeons; the authors hope to verify the hypotheses through basic or clinical research.
