Laparoscopic kidney excision was performed on an 85-year-old woman. Novel techniques enabled the removal of a 190 gm. kidney through a small incision.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a standard surgical procedure.
  • Challenges exist in specimen extraction through small incisions.

Observation:

  • An 85-year-old female patient presented with a tumor-bearing right kidney.
  • A laparoscopic approach was utilized for the complete excision.

Findings:

  • A novel intra-abdominal organ entrapment method was employed.
  • A newly developed laparoscopic tissue morcellator facilitated specimen delivery.
  • The 190 gm. kidney was successfully removed through an 11 mm. incision.

Implications:

  • This demonstrates the feasibility of minimally invasive removal of large kidneys.
