    Summary

    Extracorporeal bench surgery offers a viable treatment for select renal cell carcinoma cases in solitary kidneys. This approach demonstrated successful tumor removal and long-term survival in patients with complex kidney tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in a solitary kidney presents unique surgical challenges.
    • Tumor size, location (central third), and multiplicity impact treatment decisions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of extracorporeal bench surgery for renal cell carcinoma in patients with a solitary kidney.
    • To assess the feasibility of this technique in highly selected cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Extracorporeal bench surgery was performed on 7 patients with renal cell carcinoma in a solitary kidney.
    • Patients were selected based on specific criteria including tumor characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • All 7 patients achieved tumor-free status post-surgery.
    • Survival rates were high, with 6 out of 7 patients alive and cancer-free between 2 and 10 years.
    • One patient experienced a non-cancer related postoperative death.

    Conclusions:

    • Extracorporeal bench surgery is a safe and effective option for highly selected cases of renal cell carcinoma in solitary kidneys.
    • This technique allows for complete tumor resection while preserving renal function in complex scenarios.
