Implication

Case report demonstrates successful laparoscopic excision and morcellation of a tumor-bearing kidney in an elderly patient, indicating the feasibility of minimally invasive nephrectomy.

Key Points

To report the initial clinical application of laparoscopic nephrectomy combined with intra-abdominal organ entrapment and tissue morcellation.
Interventional surgical case report in an 85-year-old woman with a tumor-bearing right kidney.
Laparoscopic dissection was paired with a novel intra-abdominal organ entrapment bag and a newly developed laparoscopic tissue morcellator.
Total excision of a 190 gm tumor-bearing kidney was accomplished entirely through a laparoscopic approach.
The entrapped organ was successfully morcellated and extracted through an 11 mm abdominal incision.
