An elderly patient with renal cell carcinoma underwent a robotic nephrectomy. After an uneventful intraoperative period, soon after extubation she developed generalized seizures and was diagnosed with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) on neuroimaging. Management included antiepileptic and antihypertensive therapies, necessitating intensive care and neurorehabilitation.

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.

Background: Regional anesthesia techniques that provide analgesia to the entire lateral abdomen are limited. We present a modified external oblique intercostal block for complete lateral abdominal analgesia with a single injection.
Case: We performed a modified version of the external oblique intercostal block unilaterally at the tenth rib along the mid-axillary line in three patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (two single injections, one catheter placement) and tested the technique on a cadaver with 20 ml of dye bilaterally.

Chyle leak is a rare complication following nephrectomy and may result in chylous ascites. A patient in her 70s was diagnosed with a left renal tumour and underwent a robotic-assisted radical nephrectomy. She presented 9 days post discharge with chyle leaking from the left port site wound, which settled after 2 days of inpatient monitoring.
