Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy

  • Chapter
  • 826 Accesses

Part of the book series: New Techniques in Surgery Series ((NEWTECHN,volume 7))

New technology has been vital for the development of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN), from the initial description in a porcine model to early descriptions for benign disease in humans, and eventual adoption as an oncologically sound, minimally invasive procedure.15
