“…In all cases, surgery was accomplished by the same surgical team, and none of the procedures were converted to open surgery. The surgical team had extensive experience in both laparoscopic and open surgery for renal tumor and intractable chyluria (numbers of laparoscopic surgery >300 and open surgery > 400) [9]. Data of all patients were retrospectively reviewed.…”

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of early unclamping laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) for complex renal tumor relative to the standard artery clamping technique (SCT). Methods: Sixty-one patients with complex renal tumor (RENAL score ≥7) underwent LPN at our institution from January 2013 to April 2017. LPN was performed via SCT in 32 patients and via the early unclamping technique (EUT) in 29 patients. Operation time, warm ischemia time (WIT), blood loss, bleeding requiring transfusion, tumor volume, excisional volume loss (EVL), complications, and renal function before and after operation of the affected kidney were compared between the groups. Results: All surgeries were successful without conversion to open or nephrectomy. EUT reduced the WIT (p < 0.001) but did not increase the complication rate (p = 0.322). Although the tumor volume and EVL were larger in the EUT than in the SCT group (p = 0.011, p = 0.001), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) reduction in the affected kidney did not significantly differ between the groups (p = 0.120). Conclusion: Early unclamping LPN for complex renal tumor is safe and efficient. Additionally, the EUT could expand the application of LPN in complex renal tumors, and make this challenging surgery easier and safer.
