Intraoperative consultation for the kidney.

A Zabbo, J E Montie

    The Urologic Clinics of North America
    |August 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Intraoperative consultation with a urologist is crucial for unexpected kidney findings during surgery. Management principles apply, but evaluation must adapt to the surgical context, allowing delayed treatment if not an emergency.

    The Journal of urology·2001

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Exploratory laparotomy can reveal unexpected renal masses, anomalies, or trauma.
    • These findings necessitate intraoperative consultation with a urologist.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the principles of intraoperative urologic consultation for unexpected renal findings.
    • To emphasize tailoring evaluation to the intraoperative setting.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of standard urologic management principles.
    • Adaptation of diagnostic and treatment strategies for intraoperative scenarios.

    Main Results:

    • Urologic consultation can be effectively integrated into exploratory laparotomies.
    • Standard urologic principles are applicable but require intraoperative adaptation.

    Conclusions:

    • Unexpected renal findings during laparotomy warrant prompt urologic consultation.
    • Definitive treatment can often be safely deferred pending full urologic evaluation, except in emergencies.
