Abstract

The first transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy was performed by Clayman et al. in 1990.1 Since then, this surgery has been performed for various benign renal diseases. In 1992, Gaur et al. developed the balloon dissection technique for creation of the retroperitoneal space.2 Since that time, retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy has been demonstrated to be safe and effective for benign nonfunctioning kidneys.3,4 Refinements such as entrapment bags and tissue morcellators have improved both the efficiency of specimen removal and the minimally invasive nature of the procedure. Laparoscopic nephrectomy offers less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay and convalescence, and an optimal cosmetic result compared with traditional open surgery.5,6
