Surgeons at the University of California, San Diego Medical Center removed a patients diseased kidney through one incision hidden in the belly button. No other incisions were used. The successful removal of a kidney containing a seven centimeter tumor, with a single incision, is a pivotal advancement in cancer care, said Ithaar H. Derweesh, MD, associate professor of surgery for the Division of Urology and urologic oncologist at UC San Diego Medical Center and Moores UCSD Cancer Center.
