Heminephroureterectomy for duplex kidney: Laparoscopy versus open surgery

Outcomes and fate of the remnant moiety following laparoscopic heminephrectomy for duplex kidney: A multicenter review

“…Median operative time was 120 min, comparing favorably to other published reports of LHN ranging from 90 to 174 min, as well as open series with operative times from 115 to 152 min [4,7e14]. Length of hospital stay continues to be a demonstrable advantage of LHN, with a median stay of 2 days in our series compared to 3e4 days in the aforementioned open series [13,14]. Although significant blood loss is unusual in either procedure, maintaining a completely dry field in retroperitoneal LHN is critical due to the limited working space.…”

Partial nephrectomy for small children: Robot‐assisted versus open surgery

“…Table compares the results of prior literature regarding RAHN versus open surgery and standard laparoscopy for small children . Theoretically, laparoscopy predicts a reduced hospital stay.…”

“…The present data suggest that in comparison with the open approach, RAHN is technically feasible with similar renal outcomes, lower hospital stay and less postoperative pain, even in lower-weight patients. Table 3 compares the results of prior literature regarding RAHN [13][14][15]18 versus open surgery 19,20 and standard laparoscopy for small children. [21][22][23][24][25] Theoretically, laparoscopy predicts a reduced hospital stay.…”

Laparoscopic retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy and partial nephrectomy in children

“…Transperitoneal partial laparoscopic nephrectomy had a mean operative time and hospital stay of 182 min and 2.4 days, respectively, compared with the 152 min and 4.38 days for open partial nephrectomy found in the series of Aparicio et al . [ 20 ] Schneider et al . achieved a mean operative time of 123 min and a hospital stay of 2.9 days in their series on partial nephrectomies using a TP approach.…”
