Abstract:
Our main objective is to report the feasibility of performing simultaneous robotic-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) right partial nephrectomy with contralateral radical nephrectomy in children with bilateral Wilms' tumor. The RAL right partial nephrectomy and contralateral radical nephrectomy were performed via trans-peritoneal with a four-port approach (five ports in one patient), and the patients were repositioned and draped when moving to the other side. The operative time was 90 min, estimated blood loss was 50 cc. Postoperative length of stay was 2 days. No significant intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred.
