Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) is being increasingly offered for the management of renal-cell carcinoma (RCC). Specimen removal may be performed through a small or hand-port incision or by specimen morcellation. Limited studies exist addressing the accuracy of histopathologic diagnosis in morcellated renal tumors. Because of concerns about the lack of a diagnosis secondary to the morcellation process, we performed premorcellation needle biopsies to obtain nondisrupted tissue for pathologic analysis. Herein, we compare the histopathologic diagnosis achieved via needle biopsy prior to morcellation with that of the final specimen.
