Laparo-endoscopic single site hysterectomy in renal transplant women using conventional laparoscopic instruments

Abstract

Kidney transplant recipients are at a higher risk of developing cancers as compared to the general population. This is of concern when it comes to gynaecological pathologies because the transplanted kidney lies in the pelvic region, in close proximity to the diseased organ. The successful use of laparo-endoscopic single site surgery with conventional laparoscopic instruments for total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in three patients with prior renal transplantation is reported.
