- Authors
Jain, Neil; Hernandez, Evan; Wu, Amy
- Abstract
A 66-year-old female with a preoperative high index hostile abdomen was incidentally found to have a right T1a 16 mm renal cell carcinoma mass. She safely underwent robot assisted partial nephrectomy after her peritoneal dialysis catheter was alternatively used for insufflation. This adjustment in technique reduced risk related morbidity and possible conversion to open laparotomy.
