Manually assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy from a live donor combines the advantage of a mini-invasive approach with the advantage of the assisting hand in the abdominal cavity to which the surgeon is used from classical operations. The authors performed the first nephrectomy from a live donor by this method on May 13, 2002. Our initial experience with five nephrectomies by this method indicate that every subsequent operation was shorter and the period of warm ischemia was also shorter. There was no postoperative complication. In the second operation suppuration of the minilaparotomy occurred which protracted hospitalization and the convalescent period. The prerequisite of these operations is a certain amount of experience with laparoscopic operations. This type of nephrectomy has the general advantages of a miniinvasive approach, i.e. greater postoperative comfort and a shorter convalescence as compared with an open operation. The period of warm ischaemia does not differ markedly from nephrectmies by the classical procedure.

Optimal fluid strategy for laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) remains unclear. LDN has been a domain for liberal fluid management to ensure graft perfusion, but this can result in adverse outcomes due to fluid overload. We compared postoperative outcome of living kidney donors according to the intraoperative fluid management.

Objective: We investigated the impact of intraoperative tumor capsule injury (TCI) during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) or laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) on oncological outcomes, as well as underlying factors of intraoperative TCI for improving surgical outcomes.
Methods: A total of 253 patients who underwent RAPN or LPN between 2010 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed and were divided into two groups: non-TCI and TCI groups. The background was compared between two groups.
Introduction: Living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) is often performed using hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HALDN). Adherent perinephric fat (APF) can complicate HALDN, increasing operative time. The Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score predicts APF preoperatively.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of two regional anesthesia methods, transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and erector spinae plane (ESP) block, for intraoperative and postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy.
Methods: Fifty patients aged 18-80 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification I-II scheduled for elective laparoscopic nephrectomy were included after ethical approval and informed consent. Patients were randomly assigned to either Group TAP (receiving TAP block) or Group ESP (receiving ESP block).
Retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for multiple T1b renal carcinomas in a solitary kidney: A case report.

This case highlights the effective use of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RLPN) in a 73-year-old female with two large renal carcinomas in her solitary kidney, including a 7 cm deeply infiltrating mass. The RLPN procedure successfully resected both tumors with a thermal ischemia time of 28 minutes, 110 minutes of surgery, and only 30 mL of blood loss. The patient's postoperative recovery was excellent, with no hemorrhage or urine leakage and only a mild increase in serum creatinine levels.
