COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN PLANNING LAPAROSCOPIC OPERATIONS IN CASE OF RENAL MASSES

Abstract

Now laparoscopic operations are standard at surgical treatment of various renal masses. In spite of the fact that many moments of this access are well studied, a problem of surgical complications is still relevant.To improve the results of treatment and decrease frequency of iatrogenic complications, we propose a method of preoperative planning by performing CT scan in operational position of the patient on one side with determination of optimal laparoscopic access to the retroperitoneal organs.The research included 100 patients after laparoscopic operation of renal masses. 50 patients had computer tomography in lateral operational position before surgery. The received data are considered during operation that has a positive impact on surgical results.
