Abstract :
Purpose: In this study, we planned to evaluate the efficacy and perioperative outcomes of transperitoneal laparoscopic simple nephrectomy at Başkent University Konya Application and Research Center. Material and Methods: The demographic and perioperative data of patients who underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic simple nephrectomy at Başkent University Konya Application and Research Center Urology clinic between February 2005 and November 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Operative time, perioperative laboratory results, the durations of hozpitalization and follow-up, perioperative complications and demographic characteristics of each patient were recorded.Results: Overall, 58 patients were included. 27 patients were male (46%) and 31 patients were female (54%). The mean age was 45.3 ± 17.12 (6-79). The mean operative time was 104.4 ± 36.5 (40-185) minutes. The mean hospitalization duration was 2.7 ± 0.7 (2-5) days. The mean preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin levels were 13.7 ± 1.74 and 12.4 ± 1.73 mg/dl, respectively. Postoperative hemoglobin levels were statistically significatly lower than preoperative hemoglobin levels (p 0.001). 4 patients (%6.9) needed blood transfusion. 5 patients had grade I, 4 patients had grade II and 2 patients had grade III complications according to modified Clavien classification system.Conclusion: Transperitoneal laparoscopic simple nephrectomy seems to be a safe and efficacious treatment option as having low complication rates.
