Aims: Renal vascular clamping during partial nephrectomy can lead to renal ischemia and kidney damage due to reperfusion injuries, but a surgical technique without any ischemia can eliminate such unwanted effects on kidney function. The present study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of partial nephrectomy in conditions where the renal artery is ready to be clamped. Patient Information: In ...

BACKGROUND Despite their potential benefits to patients with kidney cancer, the adoption of partial nephrectomy and laparoscopy has been gradual and asymmetric. To clarify whether this trend reflects differences in kidney cancer patients or differences in surgeon practice styles, the authors compared the magnitude of surgeon-attributable variance in the use of partial nephrectomy and laparoscop...

The comparative effectiveness of partial nephrectomy versus radical nephrectomy to preserve kidney function has not been well established. We determined the risk of clinically significant (stage 4 and higher) CKD after radical or partial nephrectomy among veterans treated for kidney cancer in the Veterans Health Administration (2001-2013). Among patients with preoperative eGFR≥30 ml/min per 1.7...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transarterial nephrectomy, i.e., complete renal artery embolization, as an alternative to surgical nephrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 11 patients who underwent transarterial nephrectomy due to a high risk of surgical nephrectomy or their refusal to undergo surgery during the period from April 2002 to February 2...

BACKGROUND The objective of the study is to compare complication rates of laparoscopic nephrectomy and open nephrectomy using a standardized classification method. METHODS We retrospectively included 843 patients from March 2006 to November 2012, of whom 88 had laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN), 526 had open radical nephrectomy (ORN), 42 had laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN), and 18...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and open partial nephrectomy are now established methods of treatment for appropriate renal lesions suspicious for malignancy, Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy has undergone progressive evolution. The aim of this paper is to; (i) evaluate the current status of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, and (ii) to place it in the Australian and New Zealand con...

AIM To visit the operative technique and to review the current published English literature on the technique, and outcomes following robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RPN). MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched the published English literature and the PubMed(()) for published series of 'robotic partial nephrectomy' (RPN) using the keywords; robot, robot-assisted laparoscopic partia...

We studied the mechanisms of transformation some salivary enzymes and established real contribution glands to enzymatic homeostasis body in unilateral nephrectomy.The results were obtained that with nephrectomy, content amylase pepsinogen blood increases, but its lipolytic activity remains unchanged, volume basal secretion glands, release by parotid gland increases. Unilateral nephrectomy stimu...

BACKGROUND: The technique of partial nephrectomy for managing renal cancers is well recognized, but guidelines regarding indications for its use are not generally accepted. METHODS: The authors review the indications for partial nephrectomy in various clinical situations, and they include their own experience to clarify the utility of the technique. RESULTS: Intraoperative renal ultrasound and ...

OBJECTIVE Prolonged warm ischemia time and increased intra-abdominal pressure caused by pneumoperitoneum during a laparoscopic donor nephrectomy could enhance renal ischemia reperfusion injury. For this reason, laparoscopic donor nephrectomy may be associated with a slower graft function recovery. However, an adequate protective response may balance the ischemia reperfusion damage. This study i...
