D. D. Gaur, J. N. Kulkarni, S. Trivedi, M. R. Prabhudesai
Abstract
A 45-year-old male with a 12 cm by 10 cm grade 2 left renal cell carcinoma involving the proximal half of the renal vein was successfully treated by hand assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. To minimize the risk of tumor embolism, the renal vein was dissected only after hooking it up with the index finger just beyond the tumor thrombus after ligating and dividing the renal artery.
