چکیده

BACKGROUND The aim of this research project was the realization of an incremental bipolar radiofrequency generator with inline 4-electrode probe for partial renal resection without clamping of the vessels. METHODS The experimentation was carried out across two phases: the preliminary realization of a specific generator and an inline multielectrode probe for open surgery (Phase 1); system testing on 27 bench kidneys for a total of 47 partial resection (Phase 2). The parameters evaluated were: power level, generator automatisms, parenchymal coagulation times, needle caliber, thickness of the coagulated tissue "slice", charring, ergonomy, feasibility of the application of "bolster" stitches. RESULTS The analysis of the results referred to the homogeneity and thickness of coagulation, energy supply times with reference to the power level and caliber of the needles. The optimal results were obtained by using needles of 1.5 mm caliber at power level 5, and with coagulation times of 54 seconds for the first insertion and 30 seconds for the second. CONCLUSIONS The experimentation demonstrated that the apparatus, consisting of a generator named "LaparoNewPro" and fitted with a dedicated probe for open surgery, is able to carry out a coagulation of the line of resection of the renal parenchyma in a homogeneous manner, in short times, without tissue charring, and with the possibility of stitching both on coagulated tissue and the caliceal system. The generator automatism based on the flow of the current supplied by each electrode is reliable, and the cessation of energy supply coincides with optimal coagulation.

Haemostatic partial nephrectomy using bipolar radiofrequency ablation.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether an electrode array with a bipolar radiofrequency ablation (RFA) energy source can be used to perform a haemostatic partial nephrectomy by simultaneously ablating and coagulating renal tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lower-pole partial nephrectomy was performed in 12 porcine kidneys using a bipolar RFA system. Intraoperative ultrasonography was used to identify and...

Bipolar radiofrequency ablation of the kidney: comparison with monopolar radiofrequency ablation.

PURPOSE We report initial ex vivo and in vivo studies using bipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation of porcine kidneys. An internal ground electrode is positioned in the kidney opposite the RF electrode, resulting in ablation of all the intervening renal tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ex vivo preparations of 10 porcine kidneys were perfused continuously with Ringer's solution and treated with eit...

Needle-based ablation of renal parenchyma using microwave, cryoablation, impedance- and temperature-based monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency, and liquid and gel chemoablation: laboratory studies and review of the literature.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Small renal tumors are often serendipitously detected during the screening of patients for renal or other disease entities. Rather than perform a radical or partial nephrectomy for these diminutive lesions, several centers have begun to explore a variety of ablative energy sources that could be applied directly via a percutaneously placed needle-like probe. To evaluate th...

Saline-Enhanced Hepatic Radiofrequency Ablation Using a Perfused-Cooled Electrode: Comparison of Dual Probe Bipolar Mode with Monopolar and Single Probe Bipolar Modes

OBJECTIVE To determine whether saline-enhanced dual probe bipolar radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using perfused-cooled electrodes shows better in-vitro efficiency than monopolar or single probe bipolar RFA in creating larger coagulation necrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS RF was applied to excised bovine livers in both bipolar and monopolar modes using a 200 W generator (CC-3; Radionics) and the p...

Comparison of Radiofrequency Ablation Lesion Size with Occlusion of Renal Vessels in Rabbit Kidneys: Occlusion of Renal Artery, Vein, and Both Vessels

parenchymal malignancy, and although complete or partial nephrectomy remains the gold standard of management, many minimally invasive treatment techniques, including laparoscopic or open partial nephrectomy, cryotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are emerging. RFA involves the conversion of an alternating current into heat, which destroys soft tissues by desiccation and coagulative necr...
