Abstract:
Objective:To examine the clinical application effects of two-complex and one-plane technique for the renal artery dissected location in transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy(LRN).Methods:Clinical data of patients diagnosed as renal tumor between January 2016 and December 2019 that treated with transperitoneal LRN and the two-complex and one-plane technique was performed to locate and dissect the renal arteries were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 206 qualified patients were enrolled, included 71 cases from Kaifeng Central Hospital and 135 cases from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. There were 126 males and 80 females with median age of 54 years (range: 35 to 82 years). Renal tumor lived at left kidney in 102 cases and at the right in 104 cases, with a maximum tumor diameter of (6.8±2.5)cm (range: 3.0 to 12.7 cm). During the procession of transperitoneal LRN, The genital veins was followed to locate renal veins, soon the renal vein complex and renal lower pole complex and psoas major muscle plane that named as “two-complex and one-plane”anatomical markers were applied to the dissected location of renal arteries. The established application of two-complex and one-plane technique for renal artery location, and the anatomical features along with its locational time of renal artery, as well as vascular-related complications were recorded and analysed. The χ 2 test or t test was used to compare the results of different lateral operations. Results:The surgical procedures were successful in all 206 patients. The operation time was (54.4±13.6) minutes (range:22 to 116 minutes), no injury to liver, spleen or intestine. Two-complex and one-plane technique was used to complete renal arteries location of 206 patients that accompanied with one or more arterial branch in the procession of transperitoneal LRN. Single renal artery branch was found in 163 cases, two or more renal artery branches were found in 43 cases, and 60 branches of accessory renal artery that in addition to the main trunks were detected in 14 cases (13.7%, 14/102) on left-side and 29 cases (27.9%, 29/104) on the right(χ2=6.251, P=0.012).The main branch of renal artery that directly been located inferior or posterior to renal vein in 165 cases, and the other 41 cases that born with higher-position of main branch been located through an upper“window-opening”of renal veins complex. Of the 60 accessory renal artery, 46 branch (76.6%, 46/60) been located inferior or posterior to renal veins, and the other 14 branch with higher-position (23.3%, 14/60) been located by a"window-opening"technique. The renal artery dissected location time was (21.2±9.4) minutes (range:11 to 43 minutes) in left-side and (17.5±9.3) minutes (range:9 to 32 minutes) in the right ( t=2.840, P=0.005).The intraoprative bleeding was (51.8±25.2) ml (range:20 to 400 ml). There were 4 cases of vascular injury occured and treated with laporoscopy, only one need blood transfusion. Conclusions:The anatomical markers of renal vein complex and renal lower pole complex and psoas major muscle plane that can apply to locate various anatomical position types of renal artery in transperitoneal LRN effectively. The exactly application of two-complex and one-plane technique that could shorten the operational time of renal artery location and reduce the complications of vascular injury.
