The article presents a clinical case of a 41-year-old patient with a rare genetic form of renal cell cancer. The patient underwent robot-assisted resection of the tumor of the single right kidney under conditions of "zero ischemia". During the operation a flexible aspirator-irrigator nozzle was used, which allowed optimal aspiration of fluid in places inaccessible for the stiff aspirator. The technique of the operation is described, the main perioperative parameters, oncologic and functional outcomes are summarized.
