Laparoscopic Versus Hand Assisted Laparoscopic Trans-peritoneal Laparoscopic Nephrectomy as One Day Surgery (i.e.: Are There Differences in Postoperative Outcome / Convalescence)

The purpose of this study is to describe the postoperative outcomes after laparoscopic transperitoneal nephrectomy and compare them with hand assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy with a focus on the limiting factors that prevent an ambulatory nephrectomy, and the benefit of our experiences from the previous study to optimize the postoperative outcomes.
