Objective: To describe the experience and technique of zero-ischemia laparoscopic-assisted partial nephrectomy at The Hospital for Sick Children, as an alternative to the traditional open approach for nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) in selected children with Wilms tumor (WT).
Materials And Methods: Patients with diagnosis of WT treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and who underwent laparoscopic-assisted NSS at the Hospital for Sick Children from 2012 to 2016 were identified and their charts were reviewed retrospectively. Patients underwent laparoscopic exploration, lymph node sampling, kidney mobilization, vascular control, and adrenal sparing.
