While open partial nephrectomy (OPN) remains the reference standard for the management of small renal masses, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) continues to evolve. LPN is currently advocated to be at par with OPN oncologically. The steep learning curve and technical demand of LPN make it challenging to establish this as a new procedure. We present a detailed up-to-date review on the previous, current and planned technical considerations for the use of LPN, highlighting important surgical techniques, including single-port and robotic surgery, techniques on improving intra-operative haemostasis and the management of complications specific to LPN.</p></div></front><back><div1

While open partial nephrectomy (OPN) remains the reference standard for the management of small renal masses, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) continues to evolve. LPN is currently advocated to be at par with OPN oncologically. The steep learning curve and technical demand of LPN make it challenging to establish this as a new procedure. We present a detailed up-to-date review on the previous, current and planned technical considerations for the use of LPN, highlighting important surgical techniques, including single-port and robotic surgery, techniques on improving intra-operative haemostasis and the management of complications specific to LPN.</p></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy</kwd><kwd>renal cancer</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec sec-type="intro" id="sec1-1"><title>INTRODUCTION</title><p>Renal cancer (RC) accounts for 3% of adult cancers and 2% of cancer mortality in the United States of America (USA).[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>] In Europe, approximately 63,300 new cases of RC are diagnosed annually, accounting for nearly 3% of all cancers.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>] Current data indicate an estimated annual increase of 2% in the diagnosis of RC.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>]</p><p>With the use of widespread imaging techniques such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the community, the incidence of the diagnosis of small renal masses has risen, and is predicted to rise further in due course.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>] As of result of the above, smaller, and hence low-stage renal masses, are more amenable to partial nephrectomy as the surgical treatment of choice and nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) is considered. The classic surgical approach of radical nephrectomy (RN) is deemed excessive in the surgical excision of small renal masses. Urologists currently perform NSS, i.e. either open partial nephrectomy (OPN) or laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN).[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>]</p><p>NSS is advocated in patients with a high risk of postoperative renal insufficiency.
