OBJECTIVE: To describe the technique and report our experience of laparoscopic nephrectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between August 1992 and December 1993, 106 patients underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy at the Mansoura Urology and Nephrology Center. RESULTS: Of the 106 patients, laparoscopic nephrectomy was performed successfully in 97 cases. Conversion to an open procedure was necessary in the remaining nine patients. CONCLUSION: For a selected group of patients, laparoscopic nephrectomy is a feasible and safe technique. The length of hospital stay and convalescence is short and return to work is rapid.
