[Laparoscopic nephrectomy: report of 2 cases].
Laparoscopic surgery has become very popular in general surgery. Its most significant advantages for patients are a better postoperative comfort and fast return to work. We report two young female patients with a gynecologic cancer in whom a laparoscopic nephrectomy was performed. The surgical procedure and the post operative recovery were uneventful. These promising results show that laparoscopic surgery is applicable in traditional urologic procedures.
