Case report: percutaneous fibrin glue injection for urine leakage in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

As laparoscopic techniques have advanced in the recent decade, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) has been performed in patients with renal-cell carcinoma (RCC). Until recently, however, it has been a challenging procedure to perform because of its technical difficulty. We treated a 71-year-old man with a single kidney and RCC who subsequently underwent LPN. Urine leakage was detected postoperatively and continued for 30 days. It was managed with a percutaneous fibrin glue injection. Our report shows the therapeutic feasibility of fibrin glue for urine leakage, a complication of LPN.
