| Abstract: | A case of bilateral hypernephroma treated by right heminephrectomy in situ and "benchwork" excision of two tumors from the left kidney followed by autotransplantation is presented. Follow-up examination has demonstrated good renal function with no evidence of tumor recurrence or metastasis. This case illustrates the feasibility of benchwork operation and its application to renal tumors, particularly when these tumors are bilateral and preservation of renal tissue is imperative. Long-term follow-up of patients managed by this technique is mandatory. |
