Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy with Diode Laser: A Promising Technique

Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with diode laser: a promising technique.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate application of diode laser in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN), and to question this technique in terms of ease of tumor excision and reduction of warm ischemia time (WIT). BACKGROUND DATA LPN is the standard operative method for small renal masses. The benefits of LPN are numerous, including preserving renal function and prolonging overal...

Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy by Diode Laser with Highly Selective Clamping of Segmental Renal Arterial

Zero ischemia laparoscopic partial thulium laser nephrectomy.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Laser technology presents a promising alternative to achieve tumor excision and renal hemostasis with or without hilar occlusion, yet its use in partial nephrectomy has not been significantly evaluated. We prospectively evaluated the thulium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) in our institution over a 1-year period. PATIENTS AND METH...

Simplified hemostatic technique during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) has gained popularity in recent years, although it remains a challenging procedure. Herein we describe our technique of renal defect closure using sutures as the sole means of hemostasis during LPN. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE The kidney is approached transperitoneally in a standard fashion. After the renal artery is clamped and the tumor has been ex...
