Conversion from pure laparoscopy to hand-assisted laparoscopy for control of bleeding in renal surgery: an attractive alternative to open conversion.

abstract：:Although most caliceal diverticula are asymptomatic, they can be associated with pain, and concomitant calculi are common. When treatment is indicated, a variety of surgical options are available, although the management is often a challenge even to the most experienced surgeon. We review the indications, surgical opt...
