Abstract:
The laparoscopic approach has emerged as a valid option for surgical management of kidney cancer, as well as a few benign pathologies. The immediate benefits of laparoscopy are well established and include less estimated blood loss, decreased pain, shorter perioperative convalescence, and improved cosmesis. Long-term oncologic outcomes of patients treated laparoscopically for kidney tumors are similar to those of open surgery.
