title: [Laparoscopic nephrectomy: a case report].
abstract: Presentation and clinical picture outline of a patient who underwent transperitoneal laparoscopy-assisted nephrectomy. The procedure lasted 4 hours and the patient was discharged 72 hours later without incidence or complications. The paper describes the technique (presently unique and for selective indications), as well as the resources that the extensive laparoscopic experience of our group put into practice to perform the first successful laparoscopic nephrectomy in humans in our country.
