What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • transvaginal NOTES nephrectomyProcedure or surgery

    A 5- and 10-mm trocar were placed at the right and left medial margin of umbilicus. A lengthened 10-mm trocar was placed through the vagina into the abdominal cavity

  • conventional laparoscopic nephrectomyProcedure or surgery

    One 10-mm trocar was inserted at the midclavicular line 2 cm below the umbilicus, another 10-mm periumbilical trocar was placed for the camera, and a 5- or 10-mm trocar was placed 3 cm below the costal margin
