Abstract
To present our experience and outcome of consecutive laparoscopic renal biopsy over a 9-year period, as renal biopsy remains an important diagnostic procedure for evaluating proteinuria, haematuria and renal failure, but when percutaneous biopsy is contraindicated, a laparoscopic biopsy is an attractive option because it is minimally invasive. Seventy-four patients (29 male, 45 female, mean age 45 years, range 3-79) had a laparoscopic renal biopsy taken for various indications, e.g. morbid obesity, solitary kidney, coagulopathy, failed percutaneous biopsy, high location of the kidney and poor visualization with ultrasonography. The kidney was approached via a laparoscopic retroperitoneal route using a two-port technique, with the patient in the flank position. After identifying the kidney, one to five cortical biopsies were obtained with cup-biopsy forceps. Adequate tissue was obtained in 96% of the patients; the mean (range) operative duration was 123 (9-261) min and the estimated blood loss 67 (5-2000) mL. Forty-three patients were discharged within 24 h. Complications occurred in 10 patients, with significant bleeding in three. One patient died after surgery, secondary to a perforated peptic ulcer while on high-dose steroid ...Continue Reading
