The survival of 75 consecutive digital replantations carried out between 2006 and 2010 at a regional hand centre in the United Kingdom was determined. The patient demographics, mechanism of injury, co-morbid factors, operative and post-operative details were extracted and reviewed from the medical and hand therapy notes. Predictive factors of survival were determined by using univariate and multivariate statistical analysis. The survival rate was 70%. Arterial thrombosis was the leading cause of replant failure, followed by venous congestion. Smoking, level of amputation, number of nerves repaired, warm ischaemia time and timing of replantation were independent predictors of replant survival. However, only warm ischaemia time less than 6 hours and 30 minutes and replantations done within ‘office hours’ showed significance on multivariate logistic regression. Our study suggests that replantations done in daylight hours, when feasible, with rested staff and a full complement of the theatre team are likely to have better outcomes. Level of evidence: Level IV case series

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of early vascular release in robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) to reduce warm ischaemia time (WIT) and minimise renal dysfunction. RAPN is increasingly utilised in the management of small renal masses. To this end it is imperative that WIT is kept to a minimum to maintain renal function.Methods: RAPN was performed via a four-arm robotic transperitoneal approach. The renal artery and vein were individually clamped with robotic vascular bulldog clamps to allow cold scissor excision of the tumour. The cut surface was then sutured with one or two running 3-0 V-LocTM sutures, following which the vascular clamps were released. Specific bleeding vessels were then selectively oversewn and the collecting system repaired. Renorrhaphy was then completed using a running horizontal mattress 0-0 V-LocTM suture.Results: A total of 16 patients underwent RAPN with a median WIT of 15 minutes (range: 8-25), operative time 230 minutes (range: 180-280) and blood loss of 100 mL (range: 50-1000). There were no transfusions, secondary haemorrhages or urine leaks. There was one focal positive margin in a central 5.5 cm pT3a renal cell carcinomas (RCC). Long-term estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was not significantly different to pre-operative values.Conclusion: In this patient series, early vascular release effectively minimised WIT and maintained renal function without compromising perioperative safety.

Objective: To investigate clinical outcomes of open and retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery in the treatment of complex renal tumours. Methods: A retrospective case study was conducted. Patients with complex renal tumours admitted to our hospital between January 2018 and September 2019 were enrolled; the included patients (n=40) were divided into the observation group (open partial nephrectomy, n=20) and control group (laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, n=20) according to operation modes. The operation time, renal warm ischaemia time, intraoperative blood loss, renal pedicle blocking time, intestinal function recovery time, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications were recorded. Results: Significant differences were noted regarding renal warm ischaemia time, renal pedicle blocking time, intraoperative blood loss, operation time, and postoperative hospital stay between the observation and control groups (P<0.05); however, no significant difference was observed in intestinal function recovery time and postoperative drainage days (P>0.05). Conclusion: Open surgery remains the recommended surgical method for the treatment of few complex tumours in the renal hilus region and has gradually become the renal surgery of choice at present, although laparoscopic surgery has evolved tremendously. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.4.3457 How to cite this:Li TT, Feng J, Li YL, Sun Q.
