متن کاملLaparoscopic Vascular Control Techniques in Donor Nephrectomy: Effects on Vessel Length
BACKGROUND Various techniques for vascular control have been used during urologic laparoscopic procedures. The importance of optimizing the vessel length and securing reliable vascular control are critical for procedures like laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. We aimed to determine the length of vessel lost by using 4 common techniques of vascular control in a fresh human cadaveric vascular model....
متن کاملPartial nephrectomy: the benefits of advancing technology
• Open nephron-sparing surgery is the standard treatment of T1 renal cell cancer. In experienced centers the laparoscopic or robotic approach is a viable alternative. • Operative approaches: open, laparoscopy (standard or robot-assisted) and laparoscopic single-site surgery. Many studies compared standard laparoscopic technique with robotassisted partial nephrectomy with controversial results. ...
