Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Ambulatory surgery is increasingly utilized for various procedures.
  • Minimally invasive techniques aim to reduce patient recovery time and pain.
  • Vaginal extraction of surgical specimens is an alternative to abdominal incisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic nephrectomy with vaginal extraction in an ambulatory setting.
  • To assess patient outcomes, including pain, complications, and readmission rates.

Main Methods:

  • Two patients underwent laparoscopic (one robot-assisted) nephrectomy with vaginal extraction.
  • Procedures were performed in an ambulatory setting by a combined surgical team.
  • Strict patient selection criteria, short-acting anesthesia, and a morphine-free analgesia protocol were used.

Main Results:

  • Successful completion of the procedure in both patients.
  • No major perioperative or postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade >2) were observed.
  • Patients reported well-managed postoperative pain (VAS ≤ 5) and were discharged with high satisfaction (Chung score 10).

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic or robotic nephrectomy with vaginal extraction is a viable ambulatory option for carefully selected patients.
  • This technique, utilizing fast-track surgery and vaginal specimen removal, minimizes abdominal wound-related pain.
  • The approach leads to high patient satisfaction in an ambulatory setting.
