To evaluate the feasibility and clinical effect of transperitoneal laparoscopic enucleation of renal angiomyolipoma (RAML) without obstruction of renal pedicle.
Ten patients with renal angioleiomyoma (tumor diameter < 4 cm) were operated by transperitoneal laparoscopy without obstruction of renal pedicle. The operating time, blood loss, hospital stay after operation, intraoperative and postoperative complications and the operative effect were observed.
All the 10 patients underwent the operation successfully. The average operating time was 90 min, average blood loss was 80 ml, the average hospital stay after operation was 7 d. No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. Follow-up period was 3-19 months and no tumor metastasized or occurred again.
This mininvasive procedure is a more precise and complete method than before, which can minimize the blood loss and make patients recover quickly, so it is well worth clinical applying.
