Abstract
Laparoscopic surgery has routinely been performed under general anesthesia. Our first case of a large renal cyst treated successfully with retroperito neoscopic unroofing under epidural anesthesia is presented here. Epidural a nesthesia can be used for retroperitoneoscopic surgery if necessary.
