Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in allograft kidney followed by intrarenal urinary tract reconstruction and ureteral reimplantation (clinical report)

Abstract

This paper presents a clinical case of laparoscopic nephrectomy for a large (10 cm) renal sinus mass in an allograft kidney, followed by intrarenal urinary tract reconstruction with ureteral reimplantation. The surgery had an acceptable oncological outcome, without loss of kidney function. Regardless of the volume and extent of the tumor process, the use of minimally invasive, nephron-sparing treatment techniques takes a leading position in the treatment of renal cancer in kidney recipients. Intrarenal urinary tract reconstruction allows a kidney to be saved even if the tumor is significantly large and/or inoperable.
