The extended sinus approach for intrarenal access showed no damage to kidney function or tissue. Other methods like bivalve nephrotomy caused significant functional and parenchymal loss in dogs.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Medicine
Nephrology
Surgical Innovation

Background:

Intrarenal access is crucial for minimally invasive kidney procedures.
Evaluating surgical techniques is vital for patient outcomes.
Understanding the impact of access methods on renal health is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the effects of four common intrarenal access methods on canine renal function and morphology.
To identify the safest and most effective intrarenal access technique.

Main Methods:

Four surgical approaches were used for intrarenal access in dogs: extended sinus, radial paravascular, anatrophic intersegmental nephrotomy, and bivalve nephrotomy.
Renal function and morphology were assessed at 48 hours post-procedure.

Main Results:

The extended sinus approach resulted in no functional or parenchymal loss.
The radial paravascular approach led to a 20% decrease in function with no significant parenchymal loss.
Anatrophic intersegmental nephrotomy caused a 30% functional decrease and significant parenchymal loss.
Bivalve nephrotomy was associated with a 50% loss of function and considerable parenchymal damage.

Conclusions:

The extended sinus approach is the safest method for intrarenal access, preserving renal function and morphology.
Bivalve nephrotomy and anatrophic intersegmental nephrotomy are associated with significant renal damage.
Radial paravascular approach presents a moderate risk to renal function.
