Robotic laparoendoscopic single-site ultrasound-guided renal artery balloon catheter occluded hybrid partial nephrectomy (LESS-HPN): a prospective pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate a novel intracorporeal minimally invasive procedure for robot assisted laparoendoscopic single-site partial nephrectomy.

Methods

This study reported our technique and the outcomes of a minimally invasive approach for partial nephrectomy, specifically robotic laparoendoscopic single-site ultrasound-guided renal artery balloon catheter occluded hybrid partial nephrectomy (LESS-HPN). A Freeport for LESS was inserted through a 4.5-5.0 cm skin incision. Instead of the traditional renal artery clamping technique, a Fogarty balloon catheter was used to occlude the renal artery or its branch. Tumor resection and wound suturing was then performed as routine steps.

Results

A total of 10 patients with T1 stage renal tumors underwent successful LESS-HPN f
