This study describes a novel surgical approach for retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy in the prone position for kidney lesions. It details the surgical technique and potential challenges for this minimally invasive procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy is a standard procedure for kidney tumors.
  • Patient positioning is critical for surgical access and success.

Observation:

  • This is the first reported case of an adult patient undergoing retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy in the prone position.
  • The prone position was selected due to the posteromedial location of the right kidney lesion.

Findings:

  • The study details the specific surgical methods employed for this prone approach.
  • Potential challenges and pitfalls associated with the prone positioning during this procedure are identified.

Implications:

  • This approach may offer an alternative for complex kidney tumor resections.
