  • Title: Simultaneous thoracoscopic wedge resection of a solitary lung nodule and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for a renal mass.
    Author: Nelson BA, Sprunger JK, Ninan M, Herrell SD.
    Journal: Urology; 2004 Aug; 64(2):377-8. PubMed ID: 15302510.
    Abstract:
    Approximately 33% of patients with renal cell carcinoma will present with metastases. Patients have a reported 35% 5-year survival rate in instances in which nephrectomy and surgical resection of a solitary metastasis have been performed. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy has become an increasingly viable option in the treatment of some renal cancers. We report a case in which a patient had a solitary lung nodule in the workup for a renal mass. This patient underwent combined thoracoscopic and laparoscopic resection of both the lung nodule and the renal mass in the same setting.
