Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living...

Postoperative Nursing Management for Kidney Transplant PatientsPostoperative nursing management care includes monitoring the surgical site, encouraging early movement, and promoting lung health through breathing exercises. Nurses also administer prescribed medications like H2-blockers, such as famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, to help prevent gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. Fungal infections in the mouth and bladder can result from immunosuppressive and antibiotic...

Summary

Converting from minimally invasive surgery to open surgery for kidney cancer (RCC) does not change hospital stay length. However, it increases positive surgical margins for radical nephrectomy and 30-day readmission for partial nephrectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is increasingly used for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
  • Open conversion during MIS for RCC may impact perioperative outcomes.
  • Understanding trends in open conversion is crucial for surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare perioperative outcomes between unplanned open conversion and planned open surgical approaches for radical nephrectomy (RN) and partial nephrectomy (PN).
  • To investigate trends in open conversion rates for RCC treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of the National Cancer Database (NCDB) from 2010-2016.
  • Inclusion of patients with cT1 and cT2 RCC treated with RN or PN.
  • Comparison of perioperative outcomes between unplanned open conversion and planned open approaches.

Main Results:

  • Overall unplanned open conversion rate was 3.9%, highest for cT2 RN (5.9%) and lowest for cT1 PN (2.7%).
  • Open conversion was associated with higher odds of positive surgical margins for RN and increased 30-day readmission for cT1 PN.
  • No difference in post-operative hospitalization length was observed between open conversion and planned open surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Conversion to open surgery from MIS does not impact hospital stay but increases positive margins for RN and readmission for cT1 PN.
  • Advanced pathologic stage is linked to open conversion, suggesting increased tumor complexity.
  • Preoperative consideration of these outcomes is vital when selecting the optimal surgical approach for RCC.
