Summary
The Reni-Clamp facilitated safe open partial nephrectomy for polar and external edge renal tumors in 30 patients. This surgical approach demonstrated effective tumor removal with manageable operative times and blood loss.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Renal tumors necessitate nephron-sparing surgical options.
- Partial nephrectomy is preferred for localized renal masses.
- Challenges exist in managing tumors at the renal edge.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Reni-Clamp for open partial nephrectomy.
- To assess the Reni-Clamp's utility in complex renal tumor resections.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of 30 patients undergoing open partial nephrectomy.
- Utilized the Reni-Clamp for parenchymal dissection and hemostasis.
- Data collected on operative time, clamping time, and blood loss.
Main Results:
- Successful partial nephrectomy was achieved in all 30 cases.
- Mean operative time was 150 minutes; mean clamping time was 27 minutes.
- Average blood loss was 150 mL.
Conclusions:
- The Reni-Clamp is a safe and effective device for open partial nephrectomy.
- It facilitates the management of polar and external edge renal tumors.
- This technique offers a viable nephron-sparing option for specific renal tumor locations.
