Our laparoscopic radical nephrectomy experiences
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 41, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: In this study our aim is to present outcomes of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) we have been applying for the management of renal masses. Methods: We retrospectively examined medical files of 54 cases who underwent LRN in the Urology Clinics of Dicle University between October 2010, and April 2014. Archival files of the patients were retrospectively analyzed as for age, gender, obesity, dimensions, and laterality of renal mass, smoking status, history of hypertension, histopathology results, blood transfusion (if any), hospital stays, peri- and post-operative complications, drain removal times, and method of removal of the nephrectomy material. Results: Our study population (n=54) consisted of 21 male, and 33 female patients with a mean age of 58,8 (29-82) years. Some of them were smoker (n=23), hypertensive (n=15), and obese (n=32) patients. Renal masses with a median diameter of 6.2 cm (4,5-16,5) were localized in the right (n=23) or left (n=31) kidneys. In all cases, transperitoneal approach was preferred. In 3 cases we have to switch to an open surgery. In 8 patients, blood transfusions were required. In 18 patients 4th port was used for the retraction of the liver, while in other cases only 3 ports were used. Median operative time was 115.6 min (75-192). Median hospital stay was 3,9 days (3-16). In one case abundant bleeding occurred because of splenic artery injury. Conclusion: Transperitoneal LRN is a minimally invasive surgical method which can be performed rapidly, and effectively. We think that in procedures performed in compliance with surgical principles, LRN can be realized safely with lower complication rates even by urologists in their initial experiences. Key words: Kidney tumor, Laparoscopic surgery, Radical Nephrectomy
