Background/aims: To report our experience with laparoscopic treatment of liver tumors during right-sided transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy.
Methods: Two patients undergoing transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy on the right side each had a concomitant tumor in the right lobe of the liver. The first patient was incidentally found to have a lesion suspicious for metastatic disease. The second had a known asymptomatic giant hemangioma of the liver.
Results: Total operative time was 130 and 101 min. Estimated blood loss was 400 and 300 ml. There were no complications. The first patient had bilateral papillary renal cell carcinoma and concomitant fibroadipose tissue within the liver. The second patient presented with clear cell carcinoma of the right kidney and a cavernous hemangioma of the liver.
Conclusions: When indicated, simultaneous right-sided kidney and liver tumors may be treated by a combined laparoscopic transperitoneal approach. Laparoscopic expertise is advised.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a standard minimally invasive technique for the treatment in gallstone disease. In difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomies, bailout strategies have been developed of which the fundus-first technique is one. The present study aims to compare the outcomes of the fundus-first technique against the standard laparoscopic approach in managing difficult cholecystectomy cases by focusing on intraoperative factors such as bleeding, bile duct injury, operative time, and postoperative complications like biliary leakage.
