Significant gaps remain in understanding the response of plant reproduction to environmental change.

Performing uterine explant surgery is one of the most difficult gynecologic surgical challenges owing to the complexity of the uterine vascular system. The goal of this video is to demonstrate uterine explant surgery and highlight the critical anatomy involved in this procedure.

Materials And Methods: We selected a clinical case for a complex laparoscopic surgery consisting in a 53 year-old male presenting a local recurrence of a renal tumor in a horseshoe kidney with aberrant vascularisation previously treated with a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. He is now proposed for a laparoscopic left heminephrectomy.
