Abstract
Twenty-two carcinoma patients aged less than 65 years were subjected to radical nephrectomy through total median laparotomy. This type of approach provides excellent access to both essential operation phases: vessel management and lymphadenectomy. Postoperative abdominal complications and hernia have not been encountered.
