Objective: To discuss management of chylous leakage after retroperitoneoscopic upper-pole heminephrectomy for duplex kidney.
Methods: Between November 2004 and Februar y 2011, 39 patients underwent retroperitoneoscopic upper-pole heminephrectomy for duplex kidney, of these 5 patients had chylous leakage. The ages of the patients ranged from 32 to 60 years (mean 42). All the patients were treated conservatively, and the therapeutic effects were observed.
Results: Delayed chylous leakage in 5 patients occurred 5-31 days after surgery, and leakage occurred in 4 of the same 5 patients during the first 2 post-operative years. Chylous leakage after retroperitoneoscopic upper-pole heminephrectomy for duplex kidney preferentially occurred at the left side of duplex kidney. All the patients healed under conservative treatment.
Conclusion: Chylous leakage typically occurs after left retroperitoneoscopic upper-pole heminephrectomy for duplex kidney, and can be prevented by improving surgical technique; it can be completely relieved by conservative management with satisfactory results.

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma located in hepatic segment VI/VII or close to the adrenal gland were generally considered challenging for minimally invasive resection. For these individualized patients, this may be overcome by the novel use of a retroperitoneal laparoscopic hepatectomy; however, minimally invasive retroperitoneal liver resection is difficult to perform. This video article demonstrates a pure retroperitoneal laparoscopic hepatectomy for a subcapsular hepatocellular carcinoma.

Introduction: Retroperitoneoscopic heminephrectomy is a challenging procedure but with advantages over open and transperitoneal laparoscopic approaches. Lower pole heminephrectomy is less commonly undertaken compared with the upper pole.s OBJECTIVE: This VideoBank article aims to aid the surgeon in reducing the associated risks by demonstrating key steps including patient positioning, access and demonstrating key critical views.
