Laparoscopic kidney resection in a child with unilateral Wilms tumor

Abstract

The modern Wilms tumor treatment protocols used all over the world can cure up to 90 % of children. Such successes make it possible to actively introduce risk-adapted therapy methods aimed at de-escalating the chemotherapy regimen and radiation therapy impact to the tumor. The most conservative was the stage of surgical treatment, implying the organ-depleting nature of the surgery. Nevertheless, over the past decade, a lot of experience has been accumulated with both nephron-sparing and minimally invasive interventions in patients with both bilateral and unilateral Wilms tumor.We presented the experience of laparoscopic kidney resection with intraoperative ultrasound control in a child with unilateral Wilms tumor, receiving treatment at the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology.
