The supra-12th rib mini-flank approach for managing renal lesions.
Renal clear cell carcinoma in the upper pole of the right side (A, D, G): The length of incision after MI-OPN (A); The length of the lesion after MI-OPN (D); Coronal reconstruction demonstrates a renal mass in the upper pole of the right kidney (G). Renal angiomyolipoma in the left side (B, E, H): The length of incision after MI-OPN (B); The length of the lesion after MI-OPN (E); Axial computed tomography (CT) scan shows a mass in the left kidney with low-density dark areas (H). Duplex kidney in the right side (C, F, I): C The length of incision after MI-OPN (C); The length of the lesion after MI-OPN (F); Coronal reconstruction demonstrates the right duplex kidney (I).
