title: Ex vivo partial nephrectomy and autotransplantation for renal cell cancer after laparoscopic renal harvest.
abstract: Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is an alternative to the open approach. For centrally located tumors, open extracorporeal partial nephrectomy has been used. We report 2 cases of laparoscopic nephrectomy for the purpose of extracorporeal partial nephrectomy and autotransplantation for renal cell cancer.
