Researchers described three cases of Wünderlich Syndrome (nontraumatic spontaneous renal hemorrhage) treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy. The patients, aged 44 to 53, presented with flank pain and were diagnosed with Wünderlich Syndrome via CT scan. Each patient underwent a retroperitoneal robotic-assisted nephrectomy after conservative treatment failed. Pathological examination revealed angiomyolipoma in one case and renal clear cell carcinoma in the other two. At the 9-month follow-up, patients exhibited good renal function with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis. This case series demonstrates the potential of robotic-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy in effectively managing Wünderlich Syndrome.
