[Operative possibilities for tumors in single kidneys with particular reference to in situ perfusion (author's
Abstract:
Surgical removal of malignant tumors from a single kidney is definitely a problem which can be solved by modern techniques of urological surgery. The different operation techniques in 5 of the patients operated on in the Urologische Universitätsklinik Giessen are presented and discussed. In the individual case, besides extracorporeal tumor surgery, the excision of the tumor especially using in situ perfusion with the aid of the floating catheter can facilitate the surgical intervention considerably, and in particular reduce the danger of a postoperative renal failure.
Insights
Modern urological surgery effectively removes single kidney malignant tumors. Techniques like extracorporeal tumor surgery and in situ perfusion significantly reduce the risk of postoperative renal failure.
Area of Science:
- Urological Surgery
- Nephrology
- Oncology
Background:
- Malignant tumors in a single kidney pose significant surgical challenges.
- Advancements in urological surgery are crucial for effective tumor management.
- Preserving renal function post-surgery is a primary concern.
Observation:
- This study presents surgical techniques for single kidney malignant tumor removal.
- Five patient cases from Urologische Universitätsklinik Giessen are analyzed.
- Techniques discussed include extracorporeal tumor surgery and in situ perfusion.
Findings:
- In situ perfusion using a floating catheter facilitates tumor excision.
- Extracorporeal tumor surgery is a viable option for complex cases.
- Both techniques demonstrated effectiveness in managing kidney tumors.
Implications:
- These surgical approaches can significantly improve patient outcomes.
- Reduced risk of postoperative renal failure is a key benefit.
- Highlights the potential of advanced urological techniques in nephro-oncology.
