The Study of Laparoscopic Nephrectomy Effectiveness in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma

The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of short-term and long-term results in patients with renal cell carcinoma being operated on using open surgery and laparoscopy.

Materials and Methods. There were studied 214 patients with renal cell carcinoma with radical nephrectomy. 164 patients underwent laparoscopy, and 50 patients were operated on using open surgery technique.

Conclusion. The comparative analysis of short-term and long-term results of renal cell carcinoma surgical treatment and long-term survival of patients depending on the approach — by an open surgery and by an endoscopic technique — showed the laparoscopic approach to be absolutely acceptable and oncologically adequate.
