Transperitoneal Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy in a Patient With Severe Scoliosis - 28/07/13
Abstract |
Objective |
To report the first case of a left transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy in a patient with a severe left convex lumbar scoliosis and to elaborate on the technical difficulties of this procedure.
Methods |
The surgical procedure was performed by an experienced laparoscopic surgeon after rigorous pre-operative visualization of the altered visceral and vascular abdominal anatomy. A transperitoneal laparoscopic approach with an open introduction technique according to Hasson and a caudo-cranial dissection of the left renal hilum were performed to prevent major vascular and visceral injury in this challenging surgical procedure.
Results |
The operation time was 102 minutes and the estimated blood loss was 100 mL. The surgeon was able to complete the transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy without complications.
Conclusion |
Transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in patients with severe spinal deformities is feasible, but should only be performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeons to ensure patient safety and cancer control.
