Safe sur­gical ­repair of an abdom­inal ­aortic aneu­rysm in con­junc­tion ­both ­with neph­rec­tomy (for mono­lat­eral or bilat­eral ­kidney car­ci­noma) or ­with rad­ical cys­tec­tomy and ortho­topic uri­nary diver­sion (for ­bladder car­ci­noma) can be per­formed. ­These com­bined sur­gical pro­ce­dures can be per­formed ­without mor­bidity due to exces­sive ­blood ­loss, ­increased oper­a­tive ­time or vas­cular ­graft infec­tion. A neph­rec­tomy asso­ciated ­with abdom­inal ­aortic aneu­rysm ­repair can be per­formed ­both by a ­median ­single sur­gical ­approach or by a ­double one ­during the ­same inter­ven­tion. The ­authors ­describe and dis­cuss 4 ­case ­reports and the tech­niques ­required for ­these com­bined pro­ce­dures.
