Summary
Three-dimensional (3D) renal perfusion models significantly increase the use of selective clamping (SC) during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). This approach aids surgeons in preserving kidney function by guiding artery selection for clamping.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Technology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) aims to preserve renal function.
- Selective clamping (SC) may offer better renal function preservation than main artery clamping (MAC).
- The role of 3D renal perfusion models in guiding clamping strategy is unclear.
