Abstract:
Bilateral synchronous renal pelvic carcinomas are rare diseases. Complete urinary exenteration or kidney-preserving procedures are two different options that confer different benefits to the patient depending on the clinical situation. A 69-year-old woman with bilateral synchronous renal pelvic carcinomas underwent laparoscopic complete urinary tract exenteration. Although dissection was difficult because of postoperative adhesions, the surgery was completed with minimal blood loss. Laparoscopic complete urinary tract exenteration allows minimally invasive surgery with minimal blood loss.
