All laparoscopic nephrectomies were performed or supervised by one of three minimally invasive surgeons using identical surgical techniques, even in cases of multiple hilar vessels. During follow-up with a mean 23.3 months (range: 12\u201348), no patients presented with radiological or clinical signs of AVF (91 patients where followed up with either Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography with contrast, or magnetic resonance imaging for different indications). The mean operative time was 91.8 min (range: 45\u2013215). Intraoperative blood transfusion was required in two cases. Diaphragmatic injury occurred in one case but was repaired laparoscopically. Open conversion occurred in two cases with severe colonic adhesions and injury, with one requiring primary repair, and the other managed with a colostomy. One patient developed fever; two patients developed paralytic ileus. Hospital stay mode was 5 days, ranging from 3 to 10 days.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
