“…In this regard, we as well as others have found the hand-assist procedure to be of benefit in facilitating intact LNU. 26 Kerbl et al showed the effectiveness of the laparoscopic endo-GIA tissue stapler in reliably securing the bladder CUff.27 This technique minimizes the risk of tumor spillage because the bladder cuff is occluded with 6 rows of titanium staples before it is incised. Three rows of staples are left on the bladder side.…”

The best management for renal tumors is surgical excision. The laparoscopic technique of radical or total nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma and radical nephroureterectomy for transitional cell carcinoma is rapidly gaining momentum as an effective method of extirpative surgery. The transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approach to either of these procedures is proving to be equally effective to open surgery with respect to tumor removal, providing similar diseasefree rates. Laparoscopic surgery leads to a significantly lower intraoperative blood loss, postoperative analgesic requirement, and quicker convalescence. Presently the only drawbacks to laparoscopic surgery are longer operative times and higher costs. Fortunately, these factors are slowly approaching those of open surgery because of increased experience, improved instrumentation, and modification of the surgical technique.
