title: [Nephrectomy through a single trocar incision].
abstract: Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) is a laparoscopic technique in which a single small incision is made in the umbilicus with the use of a special device (single-port). We report the first nephrectomy performed in Scandinavia using this method. LESS nephrectomy is feasible, but requires a specific training programme comprising theory as well as practice. The authors believe that such training in conjunction with careful patient selection is essential.
