We performed Pfannenstiel laparoendoscopic reduced-port bilateral radical nephrectomy on a patient with renal cell carcinoma undergoing hemodialysis. A 4-cm Pfannenstiel incision was made, and a GelPOINT access was inserted. Three trocars were placed through the access platform, and additional 5- and 3-mm trocars were inserted in the umbilicus and paraumbilical area, respectively. After left nephrectomy, right nephrectomy was successfully completed in 401 min, with an estimated blood loss of 70 mL. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications, and the patient was discharged 10 days postoperatively. The umbilical scar was concealed within the umbilical fold, and the scar from the 3-mm trocar was almost invisible. The Pfannenstiel scar was minimal and concealed by the patient's underwear. Pfannenstiel laparoendoscopic reduced-port simultaneous bilateral radical nephrectomy is a safe and technically feasible procedure that offers great cosmesis for patients with bilateral renal tumors and end-stage renal disease.

Background: Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery is performed during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) to reduce donor invasiveness. However, the procedure is difficult and does not improve cosmesis when the incision is made at the umbilicus. Therefore, we proposed a minimally invasive LDN with a Pfannenstiel incision using size-reduced trocars (mLDN) to achieve cosmesis and operability and aimed to assess its efficacy and safety.

Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) and hidden incision endoscopic surgery techniques are increasingly used in pediatric urology. For pediatric nephrectomy, access through a single Pfannenstiel incision is novel and may offer cosmetic benefit. In this retrospective study, we describe this approach and assess operative outcomes associated with this technique.

Introduction: We previously reported cases of laparoendoscopic single-site nephrectomy performed through an umbilical or pararectal incision. To improve cosmesis and operability, we performed three Pfannenstiel laparoendoscopic reduced-port nephrectomies.
Materials And Surgical Technique: In the first case, a GelPOINT access was placed through a 2-cm umbilical incision, and two additional 3-mm trocars were inserted.

Objectives: To assess the feasibility, operative morbidity and oncological outcome of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) radical cystectomy.
Patients And Methods: Ten patients with clinical stage T1-T2 bladder cancer underwent a LESS radical cystectomy. The mean (SD) age of the patients was 64.
