TL;DR
A tumor-bearing right kidney was completely excised from an 85-year-old woman using a Laparoscopic approach using a newly devised method for intra-abdominal organ entrapment and a recently developed laparoscopic tissue morcellator.
Abstract
A tumor-bearing right kidney was completely excised from an 85-year-old woman using a laparoscopic approach. A newly devised method for intra-abdominal organ entrapment and a recently developed laparoscopic tissue morcellator made it possible to deliver the 190 gm. kidney through an 11 mm. incision.

Surgical EndoscopyLaparoscopic laser cholecystectomy
812 Citations1989Eddie Joe Reddick, Douglas O. Olsen
A means of performing a cholecystectomy through a laparoscope using laser technology is developed, the results of which are compared here with the results in a series of “mini-lap” choleCystectomies that were performed during the same time period.
EndoscopyDiagnosis of Bilateral Abdominal Cryptorchidism by Laparoscopy
352 Citations1976N Cortesi, Paolo Albino Ferrari +4 more
The authors report a case of abdominal retention of both testes, where the exact diagnosis was made by laparoscope, and suggest the usefulness of laparoscopy also in urology.
Urologic Clinics of North AmericaPartial Nephrectomy for Renal Cell Carcinoma
118 Citations1987Andrew C. Novick
Parenchyma-sparing techniques are detailed in this article and partial nephrectomy is the treatment of choice when localized renal cell carcinoma is present bilaterally or in a solitary functioning kidney.
The Journal of UrologyThe Adrenal Gland and Renal Cell Carcinoma: Is Ipsilateral Adrenalectomy a Necessary Component of Radical Nephrectomy?
95 Citations1986Edwin L. Robey, Paul F. Schellhammer
It is suggested that the ipsilateral adrenal gland need not be removed routinely as part of perifascial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma, and patients who are found to have a contralateral adrenal lesion during preoperative evaluation should be spared bilateral adrenalectomy.

Long-term data support the efficacy of partial nephrectomy for selected patients with renal carcinoma.

69 Citations1990Ralph V. Clayman, Louis R. Kavoussi +4 more
In seven female pigs, a laparoscopy, an efficient tissue morcellator, and an effective means of entrapment of the dissected organ have made laparoscopic nephrectomy a realizable and reproducible technique.
UrologyUse of ultrasonic surgical aspirator in renal surgery
69 Citations1983Richard T. Chopp, Bharat Shah +1 more
The Cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator was used to fragment and aspirate normal and pathologic renal tissue and the operative blood loss utilizing the CUSA was markedly reduced compared to electrocautery or the cold scalpel.

65 Citations1982Thomas J. DeMarco, Mohammad Amin +1 more
The experience with 104 live donor nephrectomies performed through a standard flank extraperitoneal approach with no deaths and 14.4 per cent of the patients had minor complications that were managed easily is reviewed.

60 Citations1985Alan L. Manson, David Terhune +4 more
The procedure was successful in determining the location in 16 of 17 nonpalpable testes, and this information was beneficial for selecting the subsequent operative approach.
The Journal of UrologyTransperitoneal Live Donor Nephrectomy
60 Citations1980Raphael Ruiz, Andrew C. Novick +3 more
The transperitoneal approach provides optimum exposure for atraumatic dissection of the kidney and renal vessels and compares favorably to reported series of extra peritoneal live donor nephrectomies.
The Journal of UrologyExperience with Live Donor Nephrectomy
59 Citations1980Stephen H. Weinstein, Robert J. Navarre +2 more
Donor nephrectomy is a worthwhile and safe procedure with an acceptably low incidence of postoperative complications and long-term followup complications.
Journal of EndourologyPercutaneous Resection of the Kidney: Preliminary Report*
29 Citations1988Jerry J. Weinberg, Arthur D. Smith
To test the feasibility of the percutaneous resection of the kidney, a 20-pound male pig was percutaneously resected by suctioning the parenchymal tissue with a per cutaneous aspirator and collecting it for examination.
Surgical EndoscopyMini-laparoscopy in blunt abdominal trauma
28 Citations1988Dennis Wood, George Berci +3 more
A mini-laparoscope was developed that can be used at the bedside, in the emergency room, or in the intensive care unit, and gives a wider range of decision making by observing the abdominal cavity as well as assessing whether intra-abdominal bleeding or perforation exists.

For soft, nonfibrous tissues, the ELSA is superior to the widely acclaimed Cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator in open surgery and is capable of being used endoscopically.
