Robotic Partial Nephrectomy in a Jehovah’s Witness Population
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Partial Nephrectomy (PN) has been recognized as the standard of care operation for the small renal mass (< 4cm) [11]. While PN has been heralded as a nephron-sparing surgical approach, the incidence of post-operative complications including hemorrhage and pseudoaneurysm may prevent widespread adoption [12]. One potential advantage of Robotic Partial Nephrectomy (RPN) is that it may mitigate the hemorrhagic complications and thus make this operation more accessible [13]. This could have particular applications in the JW population.

Lee Elder Jehovah’s Witnesses read with interest the case study by Sniecinski et al. (1) concerning advances in treating patients who refuse certain products made from blood. Some Jehovah’s Witnesses fit this profile. Accordingly, we are grateful to medical science for advances facilitating safe perioperative care for patients with this preference. Sniecinski et al. (1) report the cases of two ...

Background Surgical treatment of Jehovah’s witnesses, even if elective, is a difficult situation for the surgeon from a clinical, deontological and ethical point of view. Any lesion or the death of the patient can result in civil and penal consequences for the surgeon and the anesthetist. The aim of the present study was to present our experience regarding operative mortality and early clinical...

da Vinci robotic surgery is becoming a standard alternative to open and laparoscopic surgical techniques. Robotic partial nephrectomy has been described in limited numbers. In this article, a surgical atlas of the transperitoneal four-arm approach to robotic partial nephrectomy is outlined. Surgical pearls, pitfalls, and limitations are reviewed.

INTRODUCTION Robotic partial nephrectomy is an effective alternative to laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. The 3-arm and 4-arm transperitoneal robotic approaches are well described in the literature. However, a retroperitoneal robotic technique has yet to be fully described. We report our technique and initial experience with robotic retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy with a novel 4-arm approac...
