[Extraperitoneal anterior approach to renal vessels in radical surgery of renal cancer].
The authors present a modification of Droller approach to the renal vessels prior to any Kidney manipulation, even in fat patients. The anatomical situation of the hilium elements is on the basis of their rationale. The ascending ureter dissection allows the blunt advance of the middle finger by the posterior way until the arterial beat. Then pushing up the artery, its identification, by the anterior way, is facilitated. With an initial series of 7 cases the results show no ileus complication and shorter hospital stay. This extraperitoneal approach enables to keep oncologic surgical rules in selected cases of renal cell carcinoma.
