This video describes simplified step-by-step surgical principle to overcome technical difficulty based on the experience of 100 cases. METHODS The case is 59 years old male with right non-function kidney. With left lateral decubitus position, 3cm vertical incision was made at umbilicus. Hand-made port consisting of two 12 mm port and 5mm working port was installed. First step is to incise the triangular ligament and visceral peritoneum attached to liver and install the intra-organ retractor (IOR) to retract liver for the exposure of the inferior vena cava. Second step is to incise Tolt’s line to retract colon and expose exposure whole IVC under the landmark of the iliac vein originate from IVC. The third step is to dissect the posterior Gerota’s fascia of kidney lower pole from the psoas muscle. Renal pedicle is exposed after anterior retraction of kidney with this surgical plane. Fourth step is to dissect the remained posterior part of the upper pole from the psoas muscle. As whole kidney could be retracted, kidney could be easily dissected from adrenal gland. Last step is ligate and divide the renal pedicle with GIA and the ureter with gonadal vein with another GIA. Whole kidney could be crushed with surgical scissor and extracted RESULTS The total operation time was 65 minutes. In our constitution, after the application of this surgical principle, the intra-corporeal time the mean total operation time was decreased from 263.2±52.3 minutes of 12 cases to 197±32.4 minutes of 23 cases. No conversion to other surgical methods or no complication severe than Clavian classification II was reported. CONCLUSIONS Our step-by-step technique was feasible and demonstrated efficacy to overcome technical difficulties of LESS simple nephrectomy in terms of operation time and complication. © 2016FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 195Issue 4SApril 2016Page: e1005 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2016MetricsAuthor Information Jung Jun Kim More articles by this author Seunghee Yum More articles by this author Deok Hyun Han More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
