e15060 Background: We report peri-operative and short-term outcomes of a novel technique of zero-ischemia robotic and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (PN) for renal masses. Methods: From March 2010 to July 2011, 100 zero-ischemia robotic (n=40) and laparoscopic (n=60) PN were performed at our institution. The technique consists of performing micro-dissection of tertiary or higher-order renal arterial branches to super-selectively devascularize the tumor and surrounding parenchyma. Blood flow continues uninterrupted to the remainder of the kidney. As such, PN is performed without hilar cross-clamping. The procedure was offered to all-comers regardless of the tumor complexity or renovascular anatomy. Results: Median patient age was 59 years, tumor size was 3cm (0.9-13.6), baseline serum creatinine (SCr) was 1 mg/dl (0.5-2.6), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 73 ml/min per 1.73m2 (24-149). 9 patients had a solitary kidney and 8 patients had multiple ipsilateral tumors. Overall, 70% of tumors were complex: central (43%), completely intra-renal (23%), cT1b >4cm (21%), and hilar (19%). Median (range) RENAL, PADUA and C-Index scores were 8 (4-11), 9 (6-13), 2.2 (0.5 c 13.2), respectively. Warm ischemia time was zero, median operative time was 275 min (126-534), estimated blood loss was 200cc, percent of kidney excised was 20 (5-70) and hospital stay was 4 days (2-20). There were 13 complications in 12 patients, with major complications, Clavien grade ≥3, in 4 patients. Histology confirmed malignancy in 80% of tumors. All surgical margins were negative for cancer. There were no significant difference for median percent change in SCr, 0 mg/dl (-31 to 215), and eGFR, -1 (-74 to 53), at discharge. In 65 patients with more than 2 months (median 219 days) follow up data available, median percent change in SCr and eGFR were 18 (-31 to 154), p<.001 and -18 (-66 t0 53), p<.001, respectively. 1 patient developed pulmonary metastases at 1 year follow up. Conclusions: Zero-ischemia robotic/laparoscopic PN without hilar clamping is feasible and safe. It could be performed even in the setting of complex tumors and various vascular anatomy scenarios. Eliminating global renal ischemia now appears achievable.

Abstract Objective To explore the feasibility of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy(LPN) in the treatment of renal hilar tumors. Methods Clinical data of 290 patients undergoing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy from January 2013 to August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 27 patients with renal hilar tumors and 263 patients with non-hilar renal tumors. Perioperative data and follow-up results were compared between the two groups. Results Tumor size in Group A is smaller(2.97±0.88 vs 3.55±1.46,p<0.05), R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score of Group A is higher(8.4±1.3 vs 6.5±1.7,p<0.01).The operation time, WIT and intraoperative blood loss in the Group A were slightly higher, but with no statistical difference (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in intraoperative ultrasound rate, collection system repair rate, drainage time,postoperative hospital stay, and eGFR changes (p>0.05).The median follow-up period was 40 months. One patient with postoperative pathologic report of angiomyolipoma was found tumor recurrence and was currently undergoing regular reexamination. Conclusion Three-dimensional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal hilar tumors is safe and feasible after detailed preoperative evaluation of the tumor and selection of appropriate surgical strategies.

Objectives: To evaluate oncological feasibility and oncological and functional results of retroperitoneal sutureless zero ischemia laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). Patients and methods: Patients with posterior renal masses with low nephrometry score (RENAL ≤ 7) treated who underwent retroperitoneal sutureless zero ischemia.in a single center from January 2016 to November 2017. Clinical, surgical and pathological data were prospectively collected. Complications were reported according to the modified Clavien classification. Results: Retroperitoneal sutureless zero ischemia laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was performed on 15 patients. The indication for nephron-sparing surgery was elective in 11 (73%) patients and imperative in 4 (27%). Median RENAL score was 5 (IQR: 5-7), median tumor diameter 25 mm (IQR: 20-35). In 11 cases, the tumor was located polar (85%), and in 2 cases hilar (15%). There were no intraoperative complications. No cases were converted to radical nephrectomy, and in no case parenchyma suture was necessary. Median operative time was 90 min (IQR:40-150), in no case clamping of the renal artery was necessary, median hospital stay was 4 days, median estimated blood loss (EBL) was 310 (180-500) ml. Pathological analysis showed renal cell carcinoma in 11 patients (85%), 9 (60%) staged T1a and 2 (13%) T1b. In 4 (27%) an oncocytoma was found. There were no positive surgical margins. One patient developed a major postoperative complication (postoperative renal bleeding requiring super-selective embolization). Trifecta rate was 93%. Conclusions: Sutureless retroperitoneal zero ischemia LPN for the treatment of low-complexity posterior renal masses showed to be safe and feasible. Longer follow-up and higher numbers of patients are, however, warranted to draw definitive conclusions on functional outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate a single surgeon oncological and functional outcomes of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) compared to robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) for pT1a renal tumours. Materials and methods: Between 2006 and 2016, a retrospective review of 42 patients who underwent LPN (n = 20) or RPN (n = 22) by same surgeon was performed. Patients were matched for gender, age, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) score, tumour side, RENAL and PADUA scores, peri-operative and post-operative outcomes. Results: There was no significant differences between the two groups with respect to patient gender, age, BMI, ASA score, tumours side, RENAL and PADUA scores. Mean operative time for RPN was 176 vs. 227 minutes for LPN (p = 0.001). Warm ischemia time was similar in both groups (p = 0.58). Estimated blood loss (EBL) was higher in the LPN. There was no significant difference with preoperative and postoperative creatinine and percent change in eGFR levels. Only one case in LPN had positive surgical margin. Conclusions: RPN is a developing procedure, and technically feasible and safe for small-size renal tumours. Moreover RPN is a comparable and alternative operation to LPN, providing equivalent oncological and functional outcomes, as well as saving more healthy marginal tissue and easier and faster suturing.

Introduction: Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) is frequently used to manage cT1a renal masses. While data on safety and long-term oncological outcomes of LPN for T1a tumours are widely available, it is limited for >T1a lesions. We report our experience with LPN for >4 cm renal masses from a Canadian tertiary centre.Methods: Between January 2003 and July 2011, 52 consecutive LPN for >4 cm renal masses were performed. Demographic, pathological and clinical data were obtained from a prospectively maintained database.Results: The mean patient age was 60 years (62% male). Median tumour size was 4.8 (range: 4.2-11) cm. The median surgical time was 145 minutes, and the median estimated blood loss was 100 mL. The median warm ischemia time was 24 minutes. Four (7.7%) cases required conversion to open surgery. One case was converted to total nephrectomy for clinical and pathological evidence of T3 disease. The surgical margin was positive in 1 case (1.9%). Four (7.7%) patients developed a urine leak postoperatively; 3 of them managed with a ureteric stent. Four (7.7%) patients developed postoperative bleeding requiring selective angioembolization. The median hospital stay was 4 days. There was no statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate and mean arterial blood pressure (p = 0.5,p = 0.1, respectively).Conclusion: This series demonstrates that LPN although technically challenging has acceptable short-term surgical outcomes. Long-term assessment of oncological outcomes is required. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy >4 cm renal tumours should not be considered a standard of care, but excellent results can be achieved in well-selected patients and in experienced hands with no impact in renal function or blood pressure.

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.

Abstract Background Adherent perinephric fat (APF), characterized by inflammatory fat surrounding the kidney, can limit the isolation of renal tumors and increase the operative difficulty in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). The aim of this study was to investigate the predictors of APF and its impact on perioperative outcomes during LPN. Methods A total of 215 consecutive patients undergoing LPN for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from January 2017 to June 2019 at our institute were included. We divided these patients into two groups according to the presence of APF. Radiographic data were retrospectively collected from preoperative cross-sectional imaging. The perioperative clinical parameters were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the predictive factors of APF. Results APF was identified in 41 patients (19.1%) at the time of LPN. Univariate analysis demonstrated that APF was significantly correlated with the male gender (P = 0.001), higher body mass index (P = 0.002), lower preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (P = 0.004), greater posterior perinephric fat thickness (P< 0.001), greater perinephric stranding (P< 0.001), and higher Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score (P< 0.001). The MAP score (P< 0.001) was the only variable that remained an independent predictor for APF in multivariate analysis. We found that patients with APF had longer operative times (P< 0.001), warm ischemia times (P = 0.001), and greater estimated blood loss (P = 0.003) than those without APF. However, there were no significant differences in surgical approach, transfusion rate, length of postoperative stay, complication rate, or surgical margin between the two groups. Conclusions Several specific clinical and radiographic factors including the MAP score can predict APF. The presence of APF is associated with an increased operative time, warm ischemia time, and greater estimated blood loss but has no impact on other perioperative outcomes in LPN.
