Nephrectomy for Pediatric Renal Tumors: A Modified Surgical Approach to Minimize Post-operative Intestinal Obstruction

In brief

This study describes a modified nephrectomy technique for pediatric renal tumors that minimizes small bowel manipulation and peritoneal cutting to reduce postoperative intestinal obstruction risk. The conservative approach aims to improve surgical outcomes in pediatric oncology patients.

• Modified nephrectomy technique minimizes small bowel manipulation to reduce post-operative obstruction risk in pediatric renal tumor cases.
• Conservative approach to peritoneal reflection cutting may decrease SBO incidence after pediatric tumor nephrectomy.
• Surgical technique modification focuses on reducing intestinal handling during oncologic nephrectomy in children.
