Summary
This study presents a modified nephrolithotomy technique that avoids clamping the main renal artery, preserving kidney function. Selective segmental artery clamping eliminates the need for hypothermia, enhancing surgical outcomes for kidney stone removal.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Anatrophic nephrolithotomy preserves nephrons but requires renal artery clamping, risking kidney function.
- Regional hypothermia is used to mitigate damage during clamping but has limitations.
