N2 - Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy has evolved tremendously over the past decade to the point where it should be considered the standard of care for localized renal tumors not amenable to nephron-sparing surgery. The benefits of decreased postoperative pain, shortened hospital stay, quicker convalescence, and improved cosmesis have been proved in numerous studies. Long-term oncologic results of LRN have demonstrated equivalent outcomes to ORN.
