A Case Report of Combined Laparoscopic Right Nephlectomy and Right Hemicolectomy for Synchronous Renal and Colon Cancer.

Abstract

A 81-year-old man was reffered to our hospital with complaint of hematostool. The colonoscopy revealed a tumor of type 2 in the ascending colon. The patient underwent screening abdominal CT and demonstrated a mass 2 cm in diameter in the right kidney. We simultaneously performed retoroperitoneoscopic radical right nephrectomy and right hemicolectomy. The operation was performed by each different professional team for renal and colon cancer. Total operation time was 252 minutes and estimated blood loss was within 50cc. The surgery was safe and smooth and there were no remarkable complications due to the collaboration.
