Abstract:Objective To study the clinical efficacy and safety of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal tumors. Methods The 42 patients with renal tumors in our hospital during the period from January 2010 to July 2015 were randomized into open surgery group (open partial nephrectomy) and laparoscopic surgery group (retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy) according to the random number method with 21 patients per group. The operation time, Scr, postoperative recovery time of gastrointestinal function, hospitalization time, VAS score, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results There was no statistical difference in the operation time or preoperative or postoperative Scr level between the two groups (p > 0.05). Compared with the open surgery group, the postoperative recovery time of gastrointestinal function and hospitalization time were shortened, the intraoperative blood loss was less,the postoperative VAS score decreased and the incidences of postoperative complications were reduced in the laparoscopic surgery group (p < 0.05). Conclusions For the renal tumor patients, the retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a safe and effective surgical method, and is worthy of clinical promotion.
