Transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy, a minimally invasive kidney removal, is now standard. Surgeons may use hand-assistance for complex cases or intact organ removal, like in live-donor nephrectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy is a widely adopted surgical procedure.
  • Preoperative embolization of the kidney is no longer a routine step.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the current practice of transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy.
  • To highlight variations in surgical technique, including hand-assistance.

Main Methods:

  • Laparoscopic surgical approach.
  • Potential use of hand-assistance for specific indications.

Main Results:

  • The core technique remains similar to original descriptions.
  • Hand-assisted technique is utilized in challenging cases or for intact specimen retrieval.

Conclusions:

  • Transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy is a refined procedure.
  • Surgical modifications like hand-assistance enhance its applicability.
