Objective Laparoscopic knot-tying and suturing are the most difficult steps in shortening the warm ischemia time and learning curve of laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery. This study was performed to demonstrate the safety, oncological efficacy, and technical tips of sutureless retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery (RPNSS). Methods This retrospective study included 78 cases of RPNSS using a sutureless technique and 126 cases of RPNSS using a single-layer barbed self-retaining suture technique performed from December 2012 to December 2016. Results The mean warm ischemia time was significantly shorter in the sutureless technique group than in the barbed self-retaining suture technique group (6.8 vs. 21.1 minutes, respectively). There was no significant difference in the mean age, body mass index, R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry score, operative time, maximal tumor diameter, intraparenchymal depth, blood loss, operative time, transfusion rate, complication rate, or postoperative hospital stay between the two groups. No open conversion was needed. No positive margins or local recurrence were observed during follow-up. Conclusions The sutureless technique was proven to be safe and oncologically effective and may allow novice laparoscopic surgeons to easily and quickly master RPNSS, a technically difficult procedure.

Introduction. P.A.D.U.A. (The preoperative aspects and dimensions used for anatomic), R.E.N.A.L. (radius exophytic/endophytic nearness anterior/posterior location) and zonal NePhRO scoring were developed in an effort to predict the intraoperative (warm time ischemia, blood loss) and postoperative complications in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy, with an important role on surgical decision-making (2-4). Materials and methods. Between January 2014 and July 2017, 37 patients(p) underwent retroperitoneoscopic nephro-sparing surgery at our center for clinically localized renal tumor. All patients had a normal contralateral kidney. The selection of patients for nephro-sparing surgery was based on preoperative CT scan, location of the tumor, the individual general health status of the patient and individual surgeon preferences. A chart review was carried out, including age, sex, anatomic preoperative scoring system (P.A.D.U.A., R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry and zonal NePhRO), operative time (skin opening to skin closing), estimated blood loss (EBL), warm ischemia time (WIT), hospital stay. Results. The mean age of patients with partial nephrectomy was 54.3±9.1 years. Mean preoperative serum creatinine level for the patient group was 0.97±0.14 mg/dl. All patients had normal contralateral kidney. Average tumor diameter in this group was 3.6± 0.86 cm. When using P.A.D.U.A. score to predict warm time ischemia p value was of 0.001, even if the mean warm ischemia time is higher in medium risk patients than in high risk patients 24.3 min vs. 23.2 min. R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score was able to predict the warm ischemia time according to the risk groups (17.6 vs. 23.9 vs. 31 min) with a p value under 0.001. Zonal NePhRO score was statistically correlated with total operative time, blood loss, warm ischemia and renal function decrease, all with a p value < 0.05. Conclusion. P.A.D.U.A. score, R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score and Zonal NePhRO score have proved to be reliable preoperative tools in order to evaluate surgical complexity and to predict outcomes such as warm time ischemia, blood loss, postoperative estimated GFR and complications rate.

Aim: To study the outcome of simultaneous angioembolization and nephron sparing surgery in large renal angiomyolipomas. Materials and methods: A prospective study of carried out from 2016 to 2019. A total of 15 patients were included in the study with a lesion (angiomyolipoma) more than 10 cm in size, suitable for nephron sparing surgery. The workup of the patients included history, baseline blood investigations, ultrasonography, and CT urography including angiographic films. All the patients were taken up for selective of angioembolization of the feeding vessels of the AML carried out by the interventional radiologist followed by nephron sparing surgery in the same sitting. The short term outcomes studied were warm ischemia time, average blood loss, and length of post-operative hospital stay. The oncological outcome was evaluated by noting the surgical margins of histopathological specimen and functional outcome by assessing the function of the preserved renal parenchyma. Results: Twelve out of fifteen cases were female. The mean age was 42.25 years. All the patients had lesion more than 10 cm with seven tumors located at the lower pole, four at mid-pole, and four at upper pole. Eight patients had low complexity score on RENAL score (i.e. 4–6), five patients medium complexity score (i.e. 7–9), and two had high complexity score (i.e. ⩾10). Average blood loss was 200 ml, warm ischemia time was 18.46 min and postoperative stay was 3.55 days. All the 15 specimens sent for histopathology were confirmed as AML (angiomyolipomas) with margins free of tumor. Follow up CECT done at 4 months postoperatively revealed functioning residual renal parenchyma with prompt excretion of contrast. Conclusion: Large AML’s are also amenable to nephron sparing surgery. However patient should always be warned about the possibility of total nephrectomy. Selective angioembolization helps in reducing the blood supply and risk of torrential bleeding thus facilitates in the removal of the tumor and increasing the chances of nephron sparing surgery.

Objectives: To evaluate surgical outcomes in a series of laparoscopic retroperitoneal partial nephrectomies.Methods: A total of 147 patients who underwent laparoscopic retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy by a single surgeon were evaluated. Pre-operative parameters (body mass index, ASA score, tumour size, cTNM stage, PADUA score risk, surgeon experience) and intraoperative and postoperative outcomes (operative mean time, warm ischemia time, blood loss, transfusion rate, length of hospitalization, and margin-ischaemiacomplications [MIC] success rate) were considered. Results: For 134 patients (91.1%) the success of the treatment, defined by a MIC = 3, was obtained. When the statistical significance of each of the independent variables was tested, surgeon’s experience added statistical significance to the prediction of operative time (p = 0.000), warm ischemia time (p = 0.000) and blood loss (p = 0.000); tumour size (p = 0.046) to the prediction MIC (p = 0.010), operative time (p = 0.000), warm ischemia time (p = 0.003) and blood loss (p = 0.010); ASA score to the length of hospitalization (p = 0.009). Conclusions: Laparoscopic retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy represents an adequate and safe technique for the treatment of T1 renal cancer. Optimal MIC success rate can be achieved, although intraoperative outcomes tend to be related to the learning curve even in a very experienced laparoscopic surgeon. Length of hospitalization depends on general health condition of patients.

Objective: To identify any adversities in the intraoperative and early postoperative outcome of right live-related donor nephrectomy. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Urology, Rawalpindi, from Jan 2013 to Jul 2015. Methodology: A total of 143 successive patients underwent open live donor nephrectomies (right=41). Perioperative outcome for both sided procedures were analyzed to identify any difference as regard the intraoperative (warm ischemia time, total duration of surgery, peroperative complications) and early postoperative parameters (days of hospitalization, complications). Results: No statistically significant difference was found in studied parameters like total operative time, the warm ischemia time, duration of hospital stay and the intra- and early postoperative complications amongst both the groups. The mean warm ischemia time was 86 ± 12 seconds (Rt) versus 90 ± 12 seconds (Lt). The mean time for surgery was 110 ± 18.1 minutes (Rt) versus 121 ± 18.2 minutes (Lt). There were only five minor complications and one major complication. Conclusion: Right live-related donor nephrectomy is equally safe and feasible option with similar intra-and postoperative complications as for left side. Therefore, whenever required, it is safe to leave the donor with a better functioning kidney.

ABSTRACT Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the results of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy with open donor nephrectomy. Methods: A non-randomized prospective analysis was conducted of living donor kidney transplantations (118 open donor nephrectomies; 57 laparoscopic donor nephrectomies) between January 2005 and December 2007 in the Kidney Transplantation Unit of Hospital das Clínicas of Faculdade de Medicina of the Universidade de São Paulo. Results: Mean donor operative time, mean donor hospital stay, mean postoperative creatinine values, and rates of complications and graft survival were similar for both groups. A significant statistical difference in warm ischemia time was observed between the open donor nephrectomy and laparoscopic donor nephrectomy groups (p < 0.001). There was only one conversion in the laparoscopic donor nephrectomy group. Conclusions: Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy is a safe procedure for a donor nephrectomy, comparable to an open procedure with similar results despite a longer warm ischemia time.
