517 COMPARISON OF RENAL FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME AFTER LAPAROSCOPIC AND OPEN PARTIAL NEPHRECTOMY

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare laparoscopic and open partial nephrectomy (PN) for renal tumors of high surgical complexity (PADUA score ⩾10). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 93 consecutive patients who underwent PN at our department from January 2015 to September 2019. 21 patients underwent open partial nephrectomy (OPN) (Group A) and 72 underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) (Group B). All OPNs were performed with a retroperitoneal approach, while all LPNs were performed with a transperitoneal approach by a single surgical team. Post-operative complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo system. Results: The two groups showed no difference in terms of patients’ demographics as well as tumor characteristics in all variables. Group A was found to be similar to group B in terms of operation time ( p = 0.781), conversion to radical nephrectomy ( p = 0.3485), and positive surgical margins ( p = 0.338) while estimated blood loss ( p = 0.0205), intra-operative ( p = 0.0104), and post-operative ( p = 0.0081) transfusion rates, drainage time ( p = 0.0012), pain score at post-operative day 1 (<0.0001) were significantly lower in Group B. The rate of enucleation and enucleoresection/polar resection was similar ( p = 0.1821) among the groups. Logistic regression analysis indicated that preoperative factors were not independently associated with the surgical approach. There was a statistically significant difference in complication rate (<0.0001) between the two groups even if no significant difference in terms of grade ⩾3 post-operative complications ( p = 0.3382) was detected. Discussion: LPN represents a feasible and safe approach for high complex renal tumors if performed in highly experienced laparoscopic centers. This procedure offers good intraoperative outcomes and a low rate of post-operative complications.

Clinical Records

Introduction: We evaluated the the association between PADUA scores and postoperative renal function (after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy [RAPN]) and between PADUA scores and warm ischemic time (during RAPN).Methods: We reviewed the clinical records of 106 patients who underwent RAPN for a single localized renal tumour between April 2009 and June 2012. Postoperative renal function was evaluated using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in 85 patients who were followed for at least 6 months. PADUA scores for renal tumours were calculated using contrast-enhanced computed tomography images, if needed, along with magnetic resonance images in some cases.Results: A PADUA score ≥10 and WIT ≥30 minutes were observed in 18 (17.0%) and 51 (48.1%) cases, respectively. PADUA scores were significantly correlated with WIT (p = 0.019) and percent change in eGFR at 6 months postoperatively (p = 0.005). PADUA score (continuous variable, odds ratio [OR] 1.694, p = 0.007) and the high-risk group (PADUA score ≥10) (OR 5.429; p = 0.020) were significantly associated with a WIT of ≥30 minutes by multivariate analysis. A 1-point increase in the PADUA score was associated with an eGFR decrease of >20% at 6 months after RAPN (OR 1.799; p = 0.076). In addition, a PADUA score ≥10, or high risk, (OR 13.965; p = 0.003) was an independent predictor of an eGFR decrease of >20% at 6 months after RAPN.Conclusions: The PADUA classification can reliably predict WIT and postoperative renal functional outcome after RAPN. Furthermore, the study suggests that anatomical aspects of renal tumours are associated with functional outcome after RAPN.

Introduction: We investigate the clinical significance of the R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score for renal neoplasm following open partial nephrectomy (PN) under cold ischemia.Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted using clinical data of 98 consecutive patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma who underwent open PN by a single surgeon from December 2000 to September 2012. Tumour complexity was stratified into 3 categories: low (4-6), moderate (7-9) and high (10-12) complexity. Perioperative outcomes, such as complications, cold ischemic time, estimated blood loss and renal function, were analyzed according to the complexity by NS. Complications were stratified using the Clavien-Dindo classification system.Results: Tumour complexity according to nephrometry score was assessed as low in 16 (16.3%), moderate in 48 (49.0%) and high in 34 (34.7%). The median cold ischemic time did not differ significantly among the 3 groups (36.0 minutes in low-, 40 minutes in moderate- and 43 minutes in the high-complexity group, p = 0.421). Total complications did not differ significantly (2 (2.0%) in low, 4 (4.1%) in moderate and 4 (4.1%) in high, p = 0.984). Each Grade 3 complication occurred in the moderate (urine leakage) and high groups (lymphocele). Postoperative renal functional outcomes were similar among the groups (p = 0.729). Only mean estimated blood loss was significantly different with nephrometry score (p = 0.049).Conclusions: The nephrometry score, as used in an open PN series under cold ischemia, was not significantly associated with perioperative outcomes (i.e., ischemia time, complications, renal functional preservation).
