This study introduces a combined open and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy technique for complex kidney tumors. The approach facilitates vascular control and reduces ischemia time, proving feasible in initial patient cases.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Partial nephrectomy is the gold standard for localized renal tumors.
  • Technically challenging tumors often require advanced surgical techniques.
  • Minimally invasive approaches aim to reduce morbidity and recovery time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel combined open and laparoscopic surgical approach for partial nephrectomy.
  • To evaluate its feasibility in managing technically challenging renal tumors.
  • To assess its impact on vascular control and renal ischemia time.

Main Methods:

  • A hybrid technique involving laparoscopic mobilization and extracorporeal tumor resection through a small incision was employed.
  • Five patients with challenging renal tumors underwent this procedure.

  • Vascular control and operative parameters were closely monitored.

    • Main Results:

    • The combined approach was feasible in all five patients without conversion to open surgery.
    • Renal artery clamping was not required in three cases, minimizing ischemia.
    • Mean operative time was 219 minutes, with a median blood loss of 500 mL.
    • Postoperative renal function showed a slight decrease, and mean hospital stay was 5 days.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined laparoscopic/open partial nephrectomy is a viable option for minimally invasive treatment of complex renal tumors.
    • This technique offers advantages in vascular control and reduced ischemia time for challenging cases.
    • Further studies are warranted to validate these findings in a larger cohort.
