[Conservative surgery in renal carcinoma in case of contralateral kidney involvement]].
A serious problem faced in renal carcinoma treatment are patients presenting bilateral tumor, or those with virtually one kidney. Over a 2-year period, in the Department of Urology three patients are subjected to operation--one with bilateral renal carcinoma, one with dysfunction of the contralateral kidney, and one with a large cyst of the contralateral kidney. In the patient presenting bilateral tumor, nephrectomy on one side and partial resection on the other are performed, and in the remainder two--enucleation of the neoplasm. The patient with contralateral loss of renal function is subjected to ipsilateral operation for calculosis before the intervention with ensuing lithotripsy--three times. Within a year of the operation the same patient undergoes operation for ipsilateral pyonephrosis. At the time of study, all three patients are in a good general condition with values of the residual nitrogen bodies within normal limits.
