Minilaparoscopic-assisted laparoendoscopic single-site bilateral nephrectomies in postrenal transplant recipient: case report.
Transplantation Proceedings 2014 September
We present our first minilaparoscopic-assisted laparoendoscopic single-site bilateral nephrectomies (b-LESS-N) performed in a patient with bilateral atrophic kidney, right malignant renal tumor of 4.5 cm that developed in a native kidney after multiple bilateral renal transplantations and renovascular hypertension. The mean operative time was 233 minutes, with a mean blood loss of 180 mL. A single umbilical incision (5.5 cm) was performed to remove both kidneys. No significant difference in glomerular filtration rate was observed postoperatively. The postoperative recovery was uneventful with favorable short-term outcomes and high patient satisfaction. The 10-month follow-up showed effective arterial pressure improvement, absence of tumor relapse, and stable graft function. We believe that b-LESS-N for renal cancer after a renal transplantation can be performed without increased risks for the patients or for the transplanted kidney.
