Before starting select your patient • Pt w severe COPD • further studies (i.e., ABG and PFT) are required. • In severe COPD, helium is an alternate. • Significant cardiac arrhythmias • evaluated • treated hypercarbia and acidosis may have bad effect on the myocardium.
Absolute contraindications • Uncorrectable coagulopathy • Intestinal obstruction • Abdominal wall infection • Massive hemoperitoneum/hemoretroperitoneum • Generalized peritonitis • Retroperitoneal abscess • Suspected malignant ascites
Relative contraindications(if …) • Morbid Obesity • Extensive Prior Abdominal or Pelvic Surgery • Organomegaly • Ascites: Benign Etiology • Pregnancy • Hernia • Iliac or Aortic Aneurysm
Relative contraindications • BMI, according to the WHO • Overweight = • 25 to 29.9 kg/m2 • Obese = • 30 to 34.9kg/m2 • Morbid obesity= • > 35 kg/m2
Relative contraindications(if …) • Morbid Obesity • Extensive Prior Abdominal • Organomegaly • Ascites: Benign Etiology • Pregnancy • Hernia • Iliac or Aortic Aneurysm
Indications for Simple lap nephrectomy • Renovascular hypertension, • symptomatic acquired renal cystic disease • nephrosclerosis, • Symptomatic ADPKD • reflux or obstructive nephropathy, • multicystic dysplastic kidney • chronic pain of renal origin refractory to conservative measures, • chronic pyelonephritis, Fricke et al, 1998
Postoperative Management • The orogastric tube is removed at the conclusion of the procedure. • Clear fluids after flatus, then normal after bowel movement. • Foley catheter removed once the patient is ambulating. • The patient is discharged when tolerating diet. • Unrestricted activity resumed according to the patient's comfort. • If a specimen has been removed through an incision, lifting is limited to 6 weeks.
Results • The postop results comparable to that of open with much less pain and shorter convalescence. • Postoperative pain requirements are 4X < traditional open incisions. • LOS decreased by 50%, • Time to full convalescence has been reported to be markedly less. • Mean operative times > 300 minutes. • With advances in techniques, experience, and equipment, operative times have decreased dramatically
