Abstract:
Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome, an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder, is characterized by the formation of multiple and often bilateral renal tumors alongside various other systemic manifestations. The management of renal masses in VHL patients poses a notable challenge due to the threat of tumor recurrence and the need to safeguard renal function. Over the years, advancements in surgical methods have transformed the treatment measures for renal masses in VHL patients. Among these advancements, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy has emerged as a pivotal cornerstone in the management of complex renal masses.
