First sentence: Laparoscopic nephrectomy for a renal tumor was introduced by Clayman, Kavoussi, and associates in 1990 (1); in experienced hands, this approach has become an accepted alternative to traditional open radical nephrectomy (ORN) for small and medium-sized ( 13 cm) renal masses without evidence of renal vein or inferior vena caval involvement (i.e., T1, T2, and T3a renal tumors).
