Abstract

The first hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy (HALN) (1,2) and nephroureterectomy (3) in a human were reported in 1997. Many prior attempts to perform laparoscopic abdominal surgery while enabling the surgeon to retain tactile sensation had already been made, including finger dissection via a laparoscopic port site, insertion of a gloved hand into the abdomen (4), hand-assistance using an “extra-corporeal pneumoperitoneum access bubble” (5), intra-abdominal manipulation as an adjunct to laparoscopic nephrectomy (6), and HALN performed in a porcine model.
