Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy is a common procedure for renal tumors worldwide.
  • Post-operative complications can occur, including pancreatic fistula.
  • Pancreatic fistula is documented at 2.1% after left laparoscopic radical nephrectomy but is rare after right-sided procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of pancreatic fistula following right laparoscopic nephrectomy.
  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and conservative management of this complication.

Main Methods:

  • Case report detailing a patient who underwent right laparoscopic nephrectomy.
  • Description of the post-operative course, including initial misdiagnosis.
  • Explanation of the conservative management strategy employed.

Main Results:

  • A pancreatic fistula occurred post-operatively, which was initially misdiagnosed.
  • The patient was successfully managed conservatively without surgical intervention.
  • This underscores the rarity of pancreatic fistula after right laparoscopic nephrectomy.

Conclusions:

  • Pancreatic fistula is an uncommon complication after right laparoscopic nephrectomy.
  • Conservative management can be effective for misdiagnosed pancreatic fistulas in select cases.
  • Vigilance for rare complications is essential in post-nephrectomy follow-up.
