The bovine kidney as an experimental model: Simulated partial nephrectomy of the cranial pole and proportional analysis of the arterial segments. Anat Rec (Hoboken) 2020; 304:1266-1274. [PMID: 33103359 DOI: 10.1002/ar.24552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2020] [Revised: 09/03/2020] [Accepted: 09/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the pig kidney is not a good model for some procedures. This study aimed to describe the relationship between the collecting system and the intrarenal arteries, the arterial segments, and to evaluate the bovine kidney as an experimental model for partial nephrectomy of the cranial pole. Polyester resin endocasts of the kidney collecting system together with the intrarenal arteries were prepared. Thirty-two kidneys were used to evaluate the relationship between the collecting system and the intrarenal arteries, while 25 kidneys were transversally sectioned at different points to simulate partial nephrectomy of the cranial pole. Polyester resin of different colors was injected into each segmental artery of the 24 kidneys to evaluate the arterial segments proportionally. The renal artery was divided into cranial and caudal primary branches in 75% of the cases. The cranioventral branch curved on the cranial pole and ran toward the ventral mid-zone in 56.3% of the cases, resembling the retropelvic artery of the human kidney. The kidney was divided into two (25%) or three (75%) arterial segments. The caudal arterial segment had the highest proportional volume (62%). The cranioventral branch was damaged in 28.6% of the kidneys sectioned 1 cm inside the hilum. The arterial branching pattern, the arterial segmentation, and the impairment of the arterial supply after the simulated partial nephrectomy of the cranial pole are quite different from those found in humans. Thus, all differences should be taken into account when using the bovine kidney as a model.

Int J Impot Res 2020; 33:118-121. [PMID: 32862193 DOI: 10.1038/s41443-020-00351-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2019] [Revised: 08/13/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord (MDSC) can provide up to an 86% improvement in pain in patients with chronic orchialgia (CO) who have failed conservative management. Failures in MDSC could be due to small diameter nerves (≤1 mm) left behind on the spermatic cord. The objective of this study was to assess if hydrodissection (HD) of the spermatic cord after MDSC could decrease the number of residual nerve fibers without compromising blood flow. Prospective blinded randomized control trial: bilateral MDSC was performed on 22 adult rats (44 cords). HD of the spermatic cord was performed on one side of each rat (side randomized) using the ERBEJET2. The contralateral cord (no HD) was the control for each animal. Blood flow through the vessels was monitored using a micro-Doppler probe. After completion a cross-section of the residual cord was sent to pathology (blinded to technique) to assess for small diameter nerves and signs of damage in vascular integrity. Blood flow had been maintained in the vessels when the ERBEJET2 was set to 6 bar (87 psi). The cord where HD had been performed had a significantly lower total median residual nerve count of 5 (0-10), compared to 8 (2-12) on the non-HD side (p = 0.007). No structural damage was seen in the vessels in the spermatic cord that had undergone HD (gross exam and histology). HD of the spermatic cord significantly decreases residual nerve density without compromising vascular integrity in a rat model.

Abstract
Objective: To describe our new laparoscopic approach in ureterolysis using the ERBEJET® 2 device to hydrodissect the ureters in idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis. Methods: Bilateral laparoscopic ureterolysis was done after medical therapy failure (steroids) in a 47 year old patient with retroperitoneal fibrosis. Ureteral stents were placed before surgery. Only five trocars were used for both sides, Toldt’s fascia was opened and the dissection was performed till the psoas muscle. The ureters were completely freed from the fibrotic tissue using the ERBEJET 2 device (pure hydrodissection). An omental wrap was passed behind the colonic flexure at the right and placed around the ureter. At the left, we closed Toldt’s fascia by running sutures back to the freed ureter. Results: The operating time was 198 mins. The blood loss was 50 cc. The hospital stay was 3 days. The double J stents were removed at 4 weeks postoperatively. After 2 years, the patient is free of symptoms with normal creatinine level and no urinary tract obstructions. Conclusions: Hydrodissection of the ureter in retroperitoneal fibrosis is a new application in the upper urinary tract laparoscopic approach that has not been described in literature before. It seems to offer excellent midterm outcomes. The use of ERBEJET 2 device seems to simplify the procedure and make it feasible and safe (less trauma to the ureter and more conservation of its blood supply). We believe that comparative studies are needed to assess the role of hydrodissection in ureterolysis for retroperitoneal fibrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate renal damage after off-clamp partial nephrectomy (PN) using a novel surgical device, piezo actuator-driven pulsed water jet (ADPJ) system. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups and subjected to sham operation, off-clamp PN by the piezo ADPJ system, radio knife, and soft coagulation, which have been used as thermal coagulation devices. Urine and blood samples were collected, and residual kidneys were harvested at 1, 7, 14, 30, and 90 days after PN. Serum blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and urinary and serum kidney injury molecule-1 KIM-1 levels were measured. Morphological features and the extent of renal ischemia of resection surfaces were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunostaining using antibodies to 1-methyladenosine, respectively. In addition, the expression levels of KIM-1 mRNA extracted from each resection surface were analyzed by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine were significantly lower with the piezo ADPJ system than with soft coagulation. Urinary and serum KIM-1 levels were also significantly decreased with the ADPJ. The extent of 1-methyladenosine immunostaining was significantly less with the ADPJ than with thermal coagulation devices. The expression levels of KIM-1 mRNA were also lower in the ADPJ system group. CONCLUSION The piezo ADPJ system might attenuate renal damage after off-clamp PN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) is not a novel but a relatively technically challenging surgical procedure. Off-clamp LPN with zero ischemia can completely eliminate ischemic reperfusion injury to the kidney. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and functional outcome of nephrometry score-guided off-clamp technique in LPN. METHODS A total of 44 patients underwent LPN between January 2015 and July 2015 for renal mass with radius, exophytic/endophytic, nearness to sinus, anterior/posterior location (RENAL) score 4 were enrolled. Twenty-two of them underwent off-clamp LPN with zero ischemia, and the other 22 received standard LPN with common renal artery clamp. Estimate blood loss (EBL), total operation time, resection time, renorrhaphy time, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), postoperative eGFR, eGFR change, and drainage after surgery were compared between these two groups using t test. RESULTS Patients' characteristics including gender, age, BMI, tumor size, and RENAL score were balanced between the two groups. Average EBL was more in the off-clamp group than in the on-clamp group (134.32 versus 70.23 ml, p = 0.001). Average eGFR change was less in the off-clamp group than in the on-clamp group (-1.56 versus -6.45, p < 0.001). Average drainage after surgery was 203.41 ml for the off-clamp group and 145.46 ml for the on-clamp group, p = 0.062. No urinary leakage and hematuria occurred in both groups. There were no statistical difference in total operation time, resection time, renorrhaphy time, preoperative eGFR, and postoperative eGFR between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Off-clamp LPN is a safe and feasible approach to excise certain kidney tumors with RENAL score 4. This technique can better preserve kidney function without ischemic reperfusion injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of regional cramp in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, we performed partial nephrectomy using a kidney grasper that enabled the application of ischemia to a limited region of the kidney. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects were 5 renal cell carcinoma patients. The mean tumor diameter was 15 mm. There were 2 male and 3 female patients. A transperitoneal approach was used in all cases. Following the standard procedure of laparoscopic partial resection, the hilum of the kidney was confirmed and treated to prepare for rapidly applying clamping with forceps. Tumor resection and suture were then performed under partial warm ischemia using a kidney grasper. RESULTS Surgery could be completed in 4 patients using this method. In the remaining patient, control of bleeding was considered difficult during tumor resection after applying partial ischemia, and so the procedure was switched to renal artery clamping using bulldog forceps. In the 4 patients in whom a kidney grasper was used, the mean partial warm ischemia time was 23.6 minutes (range, 23-25 minutes), and the mean blood loss was 110 mL (range, 20-260 mL). CONCLUSIONS This procedure may be a useful option in ischemia for partial nephrectomy.

Abstract
Hilar clamping is typically used in partial nephrectomy to control hemorrhage, which may damage the renal tissue under warm ischemia conditions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate waterjet technology in partial nephrectomy without renal hilar vascular control in a porcine model. Bilateral partial nephrectomy using waterjet was performed in 8 pigs (16 kidneys: 8 for wedge resections, 8 for pole resections). The operations were performed successfully in all animals. The mean dissection time was 30.6 ± 2.9 minutes for pole resections and 36.5 ± 3.5 minutes for wedge resections. The mean blood loss was 51.6 ± 11.7 mL for pole resections and 38.7 ± 9.2 mL for wedge resections. The novel waterjet technique provided precise and effective hydrodissection of the kidney, avoiding damage to the vascular structures or collecting system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe our experience with Hydro-Jet-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) with no renal arterial clamping in 35 patients with renal cell carcinoma. METHODS Hydro-Jet technique was used to incise the renal parenchyma, dissect the intrarenal vessels and collecting system during the LPN procedure in 35 patients with renal cell carcinoma. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, perioperative data and renal function parameters were collected prospectively. All procedures were performed by a single surgeon. RESULTS All LPN procedures were completed without conversion to open surgery or nephrectomy. The mean operation duration was 113.6 min (range 72-202). The mean blood loss was 149.4 ml (range 30-530). No Clavien ≥3 complication was observed in any patient. There was no significant difference between the preoperative GFR of the affected kidney and GFR at 3 months postoperation (54.9 vs. 54.2 ml/min, p = 0.063). Clear cell carcinoma was confirmed histopathologically in 30 patients (85.7%), papillary renal cell carcinoma in four patients (11.4%) and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma in one patient (2.9%), all with negative surgical margins. No tumor recrudescence was observed during the mean follow-up period of 6.32 months (range 3-9 months). CONCLUSION The Hydro-Jet-assisted no-clamping LPN technique is safe, feasible and effective in selected cases. It could avoid intraoperative ischemia-reperfusion injury to the kidney. The learning curve should be further discussed, and its feasibility with larger and more complex endophytic tumors should be further explored in future controlled clinical trials with larger samples and long-term follow-up periods.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The use of kidney warm ischaemia during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) may lead to damage of renal vessels and kidney failure. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy done without clamping the renal pedicle is feasible and may be beneficial for the postoperative course. AIM To compare intra- and postoperative course in patients undergoing LPN with and without kidney warm ischaemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS The material comprises 38 consecutive patients, who underwent LPN in our department during the years 2008-2009. In all cases renal vessels were identified and dissected at first, then resection of the tumour was done. Warm ischaemia was used only in case of difficulties with identification of tumour margin or with the management of bleeding. Out of 38 operations 13 were done without clamping the renal pedicle (group 1) and in the remaining 25 warm ischaemia was applied (group 2). RESULTS Mean dimension of resected tumours in groups 1 and 2 was 31 mm and 33 mm respectively (p > 0.05), while parameters of intra- and postoperative course differed significantly between the groups: mean blood loss - 135 ml vs. 354 ml (p < 0.05), time of surgery - 72.6 min vs. 132.2 min (p < 0.05), postoperative drain leakage - 290 ml vs. 504 ml (p < 0.05), postoperative hospital stay - 3.1 days vs 5.3 days (p < 0.05). In all patients baseline creatinine levels were normal while after surgery creatinine elevation over the upper limit was found in groups 1 and 2 in one and in 6 patients respectively (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic resection of kidney tumour without warm ischaemia is feasible and beneficial in pre- and intraoperatively selected cases. Bleeding from renal parenchyma, which requires renal pedicle clamping, may seriously deteriorate intra- and postoperative course in patients undergoing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Herein, we report our experience with retroperitoneoscopic partial nephrectomy (RPN) without hilar occlusion by the use of a laparoscopic clamp to induce selective regional ischemia. METHODS A 48-year-old woman was referred for a left upper polar renal mass, which was suspected to be malignant. The contralateral kidney revealed severe atrophy, and she was scheduled to undergo RPN using a laparoscopic clamp to induce selective regional ischemia. At first, the kidney is fully mobilized within the retroperitoneal space. Thereafter, the laparoscopic clamp is applied directly to the kidney, about 1 cm below the resection line. When closed, the renal parenchyma is compressed, so that blood supply to the tumor is interrupted. The preserved portion of the kidney is perfused normally, and it is possible to remove the tumor in a bloodless field without involving warm ischemia. RESULTS Renal hilar clamping was avoided, with minimal estimated blood loss. There was no perioperative complication, and the final pathology revealed a hemorrhagic renal cyst. The radioisotope absorption of the enucleated kidney was well maintained, except for the marginal area of the enucleated site. The renogram pattern was found to be equivocal when compared with the preoperative renogram. CONCLUSION Regional renal parenchymal clamping during RPN can be safely and effectively used to create a bloodless operative field. Moreover, our preliminary experience demonstrates that this technique facilitates maximal nephron-sparing surgery for patients with an anatomically or functionally solitary kidney, without involving warm ischemia.

Abstract
Objectives: To report the advances in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) for renal masses with emphasis on technically challenging cases. Methods: Literature in the English language was reviewed using the National Library of Medicine database using the key words kidney, renal, tumor, nephron sparing surgery, and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, for the period between 1993 and 2009. Over 500 articles were identified. A total of 50 articles were selected for this review based on their relevance to the evolution of the technique and outcomes, as well as expanding indications for LPN. Results: In expert hands, LPN is safe and effective for central tumors, completely intrarenal tumors, hilar tumors, tumor in a solitary kidney, large tumors requiring heminephrectomy, cystic tumors, multiple tumors, obese patients, and even incidental stage ≥ pT2 tumors. Perioperative outcomes and 5-year oncologic outcomes after LPN are comparable to open partial nephrectomy (OPN). Conclusions: In experienced hands indications for LPN have expanded significantly. In 2009, advanced LPN remains a skill-intensive procedure that can nevertheless provide excellent outcomes for patients with renal tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) technique has continually evolved over the last decade, resulting in better outcomes and increased popularity within the urological community. In this article, we provide an overview of the contemporary literature on LPN. RECENT FINDINGS The technique of LPN has evolved over the last 5 years with a nearly 50% reduction of warm ischemia time in experienced hands. Complication rates have also declined such that morbidity and oncological outcomes are comparable to open partial nephrectomy, the gold standard. LPN is now an established procedure for the treatment of T1a renal tumors. It can also be safely performed for favorably located T1b tumors and more complex tumors, including hilar tumors, central tumors or tumors in solitary kidneys with good oncological and functional outcomes. SUMMARY For renal tumors less than 4-7 cm (T1 lesions), partial nephrectomy is the treatment of choice. Contemporary LPN is a sophisticated procedure, and in expert hands, offers perioperative, functional and oncologic outcomes comparable to open partial nephrectomy, even for complex tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate the feasibility of reversible vessel embolization with angiographic guidance for delivery of a rapid reverse-thermosensitive polymer to provide hemostasis as an aid for minimally invasive renal surgery in a porcine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS After isolation of the left kidney of seven anesthetized pigs (50-70 kg) with a surgical robot, a renal angiogram of both kidneys was obtained. A 5-F angiographic catheter was used to selectively embolize a lower-pole segmental artery of the right and left kidney with a thermosensitive polymer (LeGoo-XL). Distal and proximal embolization of the target vessel was compared. Degree and duration of hemostasis and reversibility was determined. After complete hemostasis was obtained angiographically, a partial robotic lower-pole nephrectomy was performed on the left kidney only. RESULTS Only proximal embolization provided controllable hemostasis. A 20% polymer concentration in a buffer solution of 40% saline solution and 40% iodine contrast medium by weight injected at room temperature resulted in a reproducible embolus for more than 30 minutes, the time needed to perform a partial nephrectomy. The radiographic appearance of the embolus was used to determine the total amount of polymer needed. Cold saline solution completely dissolved any residual polymer at the end of surgery. CONCLUSIONS Proximal arterial occlusion with a thermosensitive polymer can be rapidly reversed with selective intraarterial infusion of chilled saline solution. Preceding nephron-sparing surgery with transcatheter embolization of the relevant branch of the renal artery with the polymer can facilitate the procedure and ought to be investigated further.

Abstract
PURPOSE Renal vascular clamping with ensuing warm ischemia is typically needed during robotic or laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. We developed a technique for angiographic delivery of the novel intra-arterial reverse thermoplastic polymer LeGoo-XL that allows temporary selective vascular occlusion with normal perfusion of the remaining kidney. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight pigs underwent a total of 16 selective angiographic occlusions of the lower pole segmental artery using gel polymer. The technical feasibility of 2 hemostatic techniques, perfusion hemostasis and local plug formation, was assessed in 4 pigs each. Selective ischemia time was recorded and the vascular occlusion site was noted radiographically and laparoscopically. The feasibility of reversing the polymer from solid back to liquid state to allow reperfusion was determined. Pathological analysis of the kidney was completed in these acute model pigs. In the last 2 cases lower pole robotic partial nephrectomy was done using the da Vinci surgical system. RESULTS Selective lower pole ischemia was achieved in all 8 cases. Perfusion hemostasis yielded an inconsistent duration of occlusion (zero to greater than 60 minutes). Vascular occlusion time using local plug formation was more reliable (17 to 30 minutes) with consistent ability to reverse the plug to liquid state by cold saline flush. Two lower pole robotic partial nephrectomies were completed with minimal blood loss. CONCLUSIONS We developed a reliable technique of angiographic delivery of gel polymer for temporary vascular occlusion of selective renal artery branches using local plug formation. Ongoing studies are under way to assess technique consistency and the long-term effects of the polymer.

Abstract
Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) is increasingly performed all over the world. However, as in its open counterpart, achieving a satisfactory haemostasis may be challenging. Our goal is to describe the different methods employed to control bleeding during LPN. We performed a non-structured review of the literature on the different haemostatic methods used during LPN. The techniques and materials used are divided into two main groups: LPN with ischemia and LPN without ischemia. The techniques to achieve warm, cold and regional ischemia are described. Energy sources and sealants are discussed in the section on LPN without ischemia. Case selection is of capital importance in the choice the appropriate haemostatic tools for LPN. Some refinements, related to the nature of the laparoscopic procedure, are still required to reach an effective cold ischemia. A broad variety of energy sources have been tested in animal models and in human setting. Major disadvantages are tissue scarring, smoke creation and low progression speed. To date none has been demonstrated to be superior to the conventional suturing. Fibrin and thrombin promoters as bio-glues are an important adjuvant method during LPN. Bipolar current devices together with fibrin sealants or coagulation promoters are used in small peripheral tumors. In bigger or central tumors, additionally suturing over Surgicel bolsters, the most popular technique is to secure the suture by means of clips. The level of the recommendations is based on comparative cohorts. We conclude that haemostasis is achieved during LPN adapting the protocols used in open nephron sparing surgery to the laparoscopic approach. Renal ischemia and bolster sutures are still mandatory in complicated LPN while in case of small exophytic tumors a satisfactory haemostasis may be achieved by using only a sealant product.

Abstract
Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) has emerged as a viable alternative for the conventional open nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). So far, an adequate renal parenchymal cutting and hemostasis, as well as caliceal repair remains technically challenging. Numerous investigators have developed techniques using different energy sources to simplify the technically demanding LPN. Herein we review these energy sources, discussing perceived advantages and disadvantages of each technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review the evolution and current status of extirpative methods (laparoscopic partial nephrectomy [LPN]) of minimally invasive nephron-sparing surgery (MINSS) for renal tumors. METHODS The English language literature of the past 10 yr was reviewed by using the National Library of Medicine database and the following keywords: kidney, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, minimally invasive, nephron-sparing surgery, renal, and tumor. Over 275 papers were identified. Of these, 55 papers were selected for this review on the basis of their contribution in advancing the field with regards to (1) evolution of concepts, (2) development and refinement of techniques, and (3) intermediate- and long-term clinical outcomes of LPN. RESULTS Open partial nephrectomy (OPN) is the reference standard for nephron-sparing surgery against which all MINSS techniques should be measured. With available skills for time-sensitive intracorporeal suturing, LPN provides perioperative results and long-term oncologic and functional outcomes comparable to the reference standard, with significantly decreased patient morbidity. The initial 5-yr data of 50 patients has just become available, and shows overall and cancer-specific survival of 84% and 100%, respectively. As global experience with this technique increases, data need to be prospectively accrued, and long-term cancer cure rates should be compared with the reference standard. CONCLUSIONS As of this writing, the technique and global acceptance of LPN is evolving, although it remains restricted by the complexity of laparoscopic renal reconstruction. In expert hands, cancer cure and renal function outcomes are similar to OPN.

Potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser assisted robotic partial nephrectomy in a porcine model: can robotic assistance optimize the power needed for effective cutting and hemostasis? J Robot Surg 2007; 1:185-9. [PMID: 25484960 PMCID: PMC4247459 DOI: 10.1007/s11701-007-0032-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2007] [Accepted: 06/15/2007] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
A potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser through robotic endo-wrist instrument has been evaluated as an ablative and hemostatic tool in robotic assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN). Ten RALPN were performed in five domestic female pigs. The partial nephrectomies were performed with bulldog clamping of the pedicle. Flexible glass fiber carrying 532-nm green light laser was used through a robotic endowrist instrument in two cases. Power usage from 4 to 10 W was tested. The laser probe was explored both as a cutting knife and for hemostasis. The pelvicalyceal system was closed with a running suture. Partial nephrectomies using KTP laser were performed without complications. Mean operative times and warm ischemia times for laser cases were 96 and 18 min, respectively. Mean estimated blood loss was 60 ml compared with 50 ml for non-laser cases. Complete hemostasis with the laser alone could be achieved with a power of 4 W and was found to be effective. In our hands the laser fiber powered up to 10 W was not effective as a quick cutting agent. Histopathologic analysis of the renal remnant revealed a cauterized surface effect with average laser penetration depth less than 1 mm and minimal surrounding cellular injury. The new robotic endowrist instrument carrying flexible glass fiber transmitting 532-nm green light laser is a useful addition to the armamentarium of the robotic urologic setup. Its control by the console surgeon enables quicker and more complete hemostasis of the cut surface in renal sparing surgery using a porcine model. Histologically proven lased depth of less than 1 mm suggests minimal parenchyma damage in an acute setting. Laser application as a cutting agent, however, requires further investigation with interval power settings beyond the limits of this preliminary study. We estimate that effective cutting should be possible with a setting lower than traditionally recommended for solid organs.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the current techniques and technologies being used for hemostatic control during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. RECENT FINDINGS Laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery has become more common for the treatment of renal masses. With increasing experience, the indications for nephron sparing are increasing. Despite the increased use of these techniques in high-volume centers, however, more widespread application has been limited because of the need for advanced laparoscopic skills including the laparoscopic control of intraoperative renal bleeding. As a result, many techniques have been developed to achieve hemostasis, including conventional suture repair, tissue sealants, radiofrequency ablation, lasers, water dissection, and microwave tissue coagulation. SUMMARY Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a technically challenging procedure. Many promising techniques are being developed currently, most geared toward improved hemostasis and collecting system repair. These techniques and products have made, and will continue to make, the procedure less demanding and more universally accepted.
