Abstract INTRODUCTION: Warm ischemia time (WIT) is a primary concern for robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) patients because longer WIT is significantly associated with postoperative deteriorating kidney function. Tumor complexity, determined by the RENAL nephrometry score (RENAL score), can help predict surgical outcomes, but it is unclear what RENAL score and clinical factors affect WIT. This study explored the clinical factors predicting long WIT in RALPN.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In our institute, 174 RALPNs were performed between November 2013 and February 2021, of which 114 were performed by a single surgeon and included in this study. Clinical staging and the total RENAL score were determined based on preoperative CT scans. The cases were divided into three groups based on experience: period 1: 1–38, period 2: 39–76, and period 3: 77–114. The clinical factors associated with longer WIT were analyzed per period. RESULTS: The overall median tumor diameter was 32 mm, and one patient had a positive surgical margin, but there were no cancer-related deaths. In total, there were 18 complications (15.8 %). Periods 2 and 3 had larger tumor diameters (p<0.01) and worse preoperative kidney function (p=0.029) than period 1. A RENAL L-component score of 3 was associated with longer WIT in period 3 (odds ratio: 3.900; 95 % confidence interval: 1.004–15.276; p = 0.044), but the tumor diameter and the total RENAL score were not.CONCLUSIONS: A large tumor in the central lesion indicated by the RENAL L-component score was associated with increased WIT in RALPN.

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.

Uncontrolled donation after cardiac death (uDCD) contributes little to ameliorating donor lung shortage due to rapidly progressive warm ischemia after circulatory arrest. Here, we demonstrated non-hypoxia improves donor lung viability in a novel uDCD lung transplant model undergoing rapid ventilation after cardiac death and compared the evolution of ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice that underwent pulmonary artery ligation (PAL). The tolerable warm ischemia time at 37ºC was initially determined in mice using a modified PAL model. The donor lung following PAL was also transplanted into syngeneic mice and compared to those that underwent rapid ventilation or no ventilation at 37ºC prior to transplantation. Twenty-four hours following reperfusion, lung histology, PaO2/FIO2 ratio, and inflammatory mediators were measured. Four hours of PAL had little impact on PaO2/FIO2 ratio and acute lung injury score in contrast to significant injury induced by 5 hours of PAL. Four-hour PAL lungs showed an early myeloid-dominant inflammatory signature when compared to naïve lungs and substantially injured five-hour PAL lungs. In the context of transplantation, unventilated donor lungs showed severe injury after reperfusion, whereas ventilated donor lungs showed minimal changes in PaO2/FIO2 ratio, histologic score, and expression of inflammatory markers. Taken together, the tolerable warm ischemia time of murine lungs at 37oC can be extended by maintaining alveolar ventilation for up to 4 hours. Non-hypoxic lung warm ischemia-reperfusion injury shows an early transcriptional signature of myeloid cell recruitment and extracellular matrix proteolysis prior to blood-gas barrier dysfunction and significant tissue damage.

Organs from donors after controlled circulatory death (DCD III) exhibit a higher risk for graft dysfunction due to an initial period of warm ischemia. This procurement condition can also affect the yield of beta cells in islet isolates from donor pancreases, and hence their use for transplantation. The present study uses data collected and generated by our Beta Cell Bank to compare the number of beta cells in isolates from DCD III (n = 141) with that from donors after brain death (DBD, n = 609), before and after culture, and examines the influence of donor and procurement variables. Beta cell number per DCD III-organ was significantly lower (58 x 106 versus 84 x 106 beta cells per DBD-organ; p < 0.001) but their purity (24% insulin positive cells) and insulin content (17 μg / 106 beta cells in DCD III-organs versus 19 μg / 106 beta cells in DBD-organs) were similar. Beta cell number correlated negatively with duration of acirculatory warm ischemia time above 10 min; for shorter acirculatory warm ischemia time, DCD III-organs did not exhibit a lower beta cell yield (74 x 106 beta cells). Use of Institut Georges Lopez-1 cold preservation solution instead of University of Wisconsin solution or histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate also protected against the loss in beta cell yield from DCD III-organs (86 x 106 for IGL-1 versus 54 x 106 and 65 x 106 beta cells respectively, p = 0.042). Multivariate analysis indicates that both limitation of acirculatory warm ischemia time and use of IGL-1 prevent the reduced beta cell yield in islet cell isolates from DCD III-organs.
