Objective: Once chronic inflammatory renal disease (IRD) develops, it creates a severe peri-fibrotic process, which makes it a relative contraindication for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Our objective is to show that laparoscopic nephrectomy (LN) is a surgical option in IRD with fewer complications and better outcomes.
Methods: Retrospective review of patients who underwent a modified-surgical laparoscopic transperitoneal nephrectomy was performed.
