Our technique of laparoscopic nephrectomy for massively enlarged polycystic kidneys in ADPKD is safe and offers all the advantages of minimal access surgery, such as smaller incision, decreased estimated blood loss, excellent cosmesis and faster recovery.

Native nephrectomy in Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) patients is a major operation with controversy related to timing and indications. We present our single centre experience in transplanted patients and future candidates for ...

Although technically demanding due to size and weight, retroperitoneal nephrectomy can be performed safely in patients with PCKD. However, surgery might be associated with unusual complications such as NOMI due to nephrectomy. Compared to minimally invasive procedures there is reduced morbidity, so …

Hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy can be considered a technique of choice for patients suffering from ADPKD requiring nephrectomy, also with massive kidneys weighing more than 3500 g. Compared to open nephrectomy, HALN can be performed safely, with reasonably longer operating times and without major complications, and offers a significant ...

The indications and timing of native nephrectomy in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is controversial, especially for those undergoing renal transplantation. Post-transplant unilateral native nephrectomy appears to be the preferred intervention compared to pre-transplant native nephrectomy.

2005年12月1日 · Unilateral or bilateral nephrectomy for PCKD at transplantation is safe in terms of postoperative patient morbidity and graft function. We perform concomitant native nephrectomy when indicated, preferably in recipients of living donor kidney transplants.

2005年12月1日 · Unilateral or bilateral nephrectomy for PCKD at transplantation is safe in terms of postoperative patient morbidity and graft function. We perform concomitant native nephrectomy when indicated, preferably in recipients of living donor kidney transplants.

2024年6月18日 · A robotic bilateral nephrectomy may be a promising option for ADPKD patients needing native nephrectomy. Even for significantly enlarged kidneys, it might allow for an alternative, minimally invasive approach.

2019年3月25日 · Nephrectomy in PD patients, especially if bilateral, carries a twofold risk: a decline of diuresis volume and a potential permanent damage of peritoneal integrity, both leading to a necessary switch to hemodialysis.

2022年11月23日 · There are three potential sequences for a kidney transplant and native nephrectomy in the PCKD recipient, each of which has nuanced consideration to be discussed later in this chapter. Concurrent (or simultaneous) nephrectomy refers to removing one or both native kidneys at the time of kidney transplantation, while a staged nephrectomy can be ...
