Laparoscopic Retroperitoneal Extirpative and Reconstructive Renal Surgery

Abstract: Retroperitoneal laparoscopy for renal surgery is a viable and versatile alternative to transperitoneal access. Location of the kidneys in the retroperitoneum makes it an attractive approach. The development of both approaches paralleled during the last two decades; however, retroperitoneal laparoscopy witnessed a steep learning curve because of the constraint of working space, lack of obvious landmarks, and appropriate instrumentations. This approach has several advantages and is currently being used for extir… Show more

“…A total of eight patients were undergo to laparoscopic anatrophic nephrolithotomy, mean patients age were 42.1 years, stone diameter was 52.6mm, 5 stones (62.5%) were found in left topography and 3 stones (37.5%) were in the right topography, mean surgical time 127.5 minutes [7,8], warm ischemia time 29.5 minutes, blood loss average 218.7ml, transfusion rate 0%, 2 complications (25%), we decided to perform a nephrectomy in a patient due to prolonged ischemia and one patient was discharge with no complications but he returns to the emergency room with gross hematuria [9] days postoperatively, which did not yield to medical treatment also the non-availability to performed an angiography + embolization (high suspicion of pseudoaneurisma). Stone free rate was 75%, length in hospital were 3.5 days.…”

“…Relevant anatomical research [5] shows renal sinus fat,enclosing the renal vessels, between the pelvis and parenchyma has a close relationship to renal parenchyma. A layer of connective tissue (the renal pelvis membrane) exists between the sinus fat and pelvis, whose blood supply is from the pelvic muscle layer but not from renal vessels in sinus fat.…”

“…However, despite the several advantages of the retroperitoneal approach, RLESS has been less commonly reported because it is more difficult to check anatomical landmarks with RLESS and there is more clashing of laparoscopic instruments due to the relatively small working space compared with the transperitoneal approach [11]. Recently, a large multi-institutional, worldwide series of LESS in urology was reported, in which a total of 1,076 cases of LESS done at 18 institutions were included.…”

“…The retroperitoneal approach has some advantages compared with the transperitoneal approach, which allows more direct access to the kidney and renal hilum and has the merits of rare retraction of internal organs and less risk of peritoneal contamination by spillage of urinary contents such as urine, tumor, or abscess [11]. …”
