Abstract
With adequate laparoscopic experience, LPN for hilar tumors is a reasonable surgical option. In our experience, the procedure was associated with an increased risk of urine leak. Preoperative placement of a ureteral catheter to help delineate collecting system violations and routine postoperative stenting may reduce the incidence of this complication.
