Renal cell carcinoma accounts 2 % of global cancer diagnoses and death. In Malaysia, its occurrence is found in 1.9 in 100,000 patients and more predominantly in male with ratio male to female of 2.75:1 in 2006. Radical nephrectomy has been proven to give the best chance of cure and long term survival. Throughout the years, conventional open surgery has evolved to single port laparoscopic surgery. It has its own advantages, difficulties and cases selections criteria. We report a successful case of Laparoscopic single port surgery in a renal cell carcinoma patient with underlying prostate carcinoma.
