Retroperitoneoscopic radical nephrectomy with concomitant distal pancreatectomy: case report.
Whereas laparoscopic radical nephrectomy has emerged as the standard of care for most low-stage renal tumors, laparoscopic pancreatic surgery remains uncommon. We describe a retroperitoneoscopic radical nephrectomy and concomitant distal pancreatectomy for a large left renal mass with suspected involvement of the adrenal gland and the distal pancreas.
