Our initial experience of incorporating cold ischemia via arterial perfusion into laparoscopic partial nephrectomy shows the feasibility and safety of the technique. We believe that this approach has the potential to make laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma safe and reliable.
Our approach is a safe, reliable, rapid and inexpensive method to ligate the renal vein during laparoscopic nephrectomy. Therefore, this technique has replaced endovascular gastrointestinal anastomosis stapler use at our center.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
