Perioperative Outcomes of Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy for Renal Mass in Patients on Dialysis or with Renal Transplant in Place Compared to Normal Controls.

The risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) development in the native kidney of patients on dialysis or with a renal transplant is increased compared to the general population. This study examines perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LN) in dialysis patients or renal transplant patients compared to normal controls. Four hundred twelve consecutive LN were evaluated (July 2007 to October 2018).
