soumise elle aussi à une courbe d’apprentissage, comme l’ensemble
de la chirurgie par cœlioscopie ou lomboscopie, nécessite un
apprentissage difficile même pour un service pratiquant régulière-
ment la chirurgie cœlioscopique. Mais les résultats de cette série
demeurent encourageants, avec l’expérience, la néphrectomie par-
tielle laparoscopique devrait devenir une technique fiable, notam-
ment pour les tumeurs rénales de localisation postérieure.

SUMMARY
Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy: a series of 17 cases.
Objective:The objective of this study was to evaluate the Feasibility,
the morbidity and the carcinologic results of laparoscopic partial
nephrectomy.
Material and Methods:Between August 2001 and December 2005, 17
partial nephrectomies were performed by laparoscopy in patients with
amean age of 59.2 years. Postoperative complications, the conversion
rate, operating time, arterial clamping time, length of hospital stay and
oncological results were studied for each patient.
Results:The mean operating time was 190 min, the mean arterial clam-
ping time was 30 min and the mean hospital stay was 6.3 days. There
were 2 complications including one postoperative haematoma requi-
ring surgical revision for drainage and repositioning of a stent for urine
leak. Two conversions had to be performed early in our experience. A
tumour recurrence 2 years after the initial operation was treated by
total nephrectomy.
Conclusion:Our results in terms of morbidity are similar to those
reported for open surgery, but the recurrence rate appears to be sligh-
tly higher than that observed with open partial nephrectomy. Laparos-
copic partial nephrectomy remains a difficult operation requiring a
learning curve even for a department that regularly performs laparos-
copic surgery.
Key-Words: Partial nephrectomy, retroperitoneal laparoscopy, tumour,
cancer, kidney.
