**1. Introduction**

Renal malignancy is amongst the 10 most commonly diagnosed cancers in both males and females [1]. It is twice more common in men than in women [2]. Surgery is the mainstay of management for localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Open radical nephrectomy (ORN) was first described in the 1960s [3, 4]. But the first report of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) for a small renal mass was published in 1991 [5]. Since this initial report in 1991, minimal access urological surgery has revolutionized the surgical management of renal cancer [5]. Laparoscopic Nephrectomy (LRN) has now become the mainstay of management of renal masses.
