Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of laparoscopic nephron-spring surgery for renal tumor.Methods From September 2004 to November 2006,29 patients with renal tumor underwent laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery without hilar clamping or with temporary hilar control in our hospital.The retroperitoneal approach was used in 25 patients with 4 trocars.During the operation,the renal artery was exposed and then the vessel bundles were pulled out of the abdominal cavity through one of the trocars,passing by the renal artery without clamping it.Afterwards,fatty cysts surrounding or on the surface of the tumor were resected.Tumor excision was then performed using ultrasonic shears.An incision was made at the point 0.5 cm away from the margin of the tumor,and was extended deeply to completely cut the tumor.Meanwhile,bleeding was controlled with bipolar diathermy.The renal artery was occluded when necessary so that the tumor could be cut within a limited time duration.And the occlusion could be re-opened after controlling the bleeding.After the procedure,the renal incision was compressed with gauze,sutured with 2-0 absorbable sutures,and covered with fibrin sealant.In the other 4 patients,trans-peritoneal approach was used.The ureter was exposed near the lower pole of the kidney and separated towards the renal hilum to find out the renal artery.The following steps were similar to the above mentioned. Results In all the patients,the procedures were done without conversion to open surgeries.In this series,20 operations were completed without clamping the renal artery;and in the other 9,the mean time of renal artery occlusion was 14 min(5-20 min).In our patients,the mean operation time was 165 min(105-240 min),and the mean blood loss was 90 ml(20-800 ml).Two of the patients received blood transfusion during the surgery.The mean postoperative hospital stay was 9 d(7-17 d).No complications,such as urine leakage,occurred after the operation.Eighteen patients were followed up for a mean of 9 months(1-26 month),no recurrence of tumor was found.Conclusion Laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery without hilar clamping or with contemporary hilar control is feasible and safe for patients with peripheral renal tumor not involving the renal collecting system.
