Laparoscopy + Robotic Surgery

Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy

7 stages · 17 October 2026

Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is one of the first-line surgical techniques for the management of small renal tumors where robotic surgery cannot be done because of financial constraints and unavailability. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is very difficult to perform compared to robotic surgery and requires a high degree of expertise. The main advantages are excellent oncologic control together with the preservation of nephron units. Moreover, it implies a shorter length of hospital stay, less postoperative pain, and shorter recovery times for patients. In this case, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was performed as the patient was not able to afford robotic partial nephrectomy
