Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) is compared to traditional open partial nephrectomy and robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy in terms of oncologic and surgical outcomes for renal tumors after good indication. Studies have shown that the modality is feasible with similar oncologic efficacy and better renal function outcomes compared to laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) for renal tumors. The main advantages of LPN include decreased estimated blood loss, decreased surgical site pain, shorter postoperative recovery, and nephron preservation. The purpose of this clinical report is to evaluate the surgical techniques and steps and the postoperative sequelae.
