[Lomboscopic surgery for renin-secreting tumour].
Renin-secreting tumour is a rare, benign entity, responsible for hypertension due to secondary hyperaldosteronism. It must be treated surgically. In the light of a review of the literature, the authors report the first published case of resection of a juxtaglomerular tumour of the kidney by laparoscopic partial nephrectomy using an ultrasound scalpel.
