Abstract
BACKGROUND Several factors impact the preservation of renal function after partial nephrectomy. Warm ischemia time is the main modifiable surgical factor. Renorrhaphy represents the key of hemostasia, but it is associated with increase of warm ischemia time and complications. The aim of this study was to describe our initial surgical experience with a new surgical technique for sutureless partial nephrectomy, based on the application of our own developed renal-sutureless-device-RSD. METHODS Between 2020-2021, 10 patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma stage cT1a-b cN0M0 with an exophytic component were operated using renal-sutureless-device-RSD. Surgical technique of sutureless partial nephrectomy with renal-sutureless-device-RSD is described in a step-by-step fashion. Clinical data was collected in a dedicated database. Presurgical, intraoperative, postoperative variables, pathology and functional results were evaluated. Medians and ranges of values for selected variables were reported as descriptive statistics. RESULTS Partial nephrectomy was carried out with the use of renal-sutureless-device-RSD without renorrhaphy in all cases (70%cT1a-30%cT1b). Median tumor size was 3.15 cm (IQR: 2.5-4.5). R.E.N.A.L Score had a range between 4a-10. Median surgical time was 97.5 minutes (IQR 75-105). Renal artery clamping was only required in 4 cases, with a median warm ischemia time of 12.5 minutes (IQR 10-15). No blood transfusion, intraoperative and postoperative complications were noted. Free-of-disease margin rate achieved was 90%. Median length of stay was 2 days (IQR 2-2). Laboratory data on hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, as well as renal function tests, remained stable after partial nephrectomy. CONCLUSIONS Our initial experience suggests that a sutureless PN using the RSD device is feasible and safe. Further investigation is needed to determine the clinical benefit of this technique.

Abstract
Background 3D printing and distributed manufacturing represent a paradigm shift in the health system that is becoming critical during the COVID-19 pandemic. University hospitals are also taking on the role of manufacturers of custom-made solutions thanks to 3D printing technology. Case Presentation We present a monocentric observational case study regarding the distributed manufacturing of three groups of products during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic from 14 March to 10 May 2020: personal protective equipment, ventilatory support, and diagnostic and consumable products. Networking during this period has enabled the delivery of a total of 17,276 units of products manufactured using 3D printing technology. The most manufactured product was the face shields and ear savers, while the one that achieved the greatest clinical impact was the mechanical ventilation adapters and swabs. The products were manufactured by individuals in 57.3% of the cases, and our hospital acted as the main delivery node in a hub with 10 other hospitals. The main advantage of this production model is the fast response to stock needs, being able to adapt almost in real time. Conclusions The role of 3D printing in the hospital environment allows the reconciliation of in-house and distributed manufacturing with traditional production, providing custom-made adaptation of the specifications, as well as maximum efficiency in the working and availability of resources, which is of special importance at critical times for health systems such as the current COVID-19 pandemic.
