| One case each of leiomyosarcoma involved the bladder and kidney and had been treated by partial cystectomy and total nephrectomy, respectively. |
| Owing to its central location and proximity to the major renal vessels, the mass was resected laparoscopically by complete nephrectomy. |
| A right nephrectomy and adrenalectomy were therefore performed to achieve hemostasis. |
| Longer follow-up of patients is required to provide an adequate comparison with nephrectomy. |
| A left nephrectomy was performed with the clinical diagnosis of a primary renal tumor due to the absence of any other masses in the extension study. |
| Advanced surgical techniques now allow the donor nephrectomy to be performed through a laparoscope. |
