Project description:BackgroundThere is limited information on perioperative renal function during off-clamp, non-renorrhaphy open partial nephrectomy. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to identify predictive factors of perioperative decline in renal function after off-clamp, non-renorrhaphy open partial nephrectomy.MethodsClinical records of 138 patients with renal tumors who underwent off-clamp, non-renorrhaphy open partial nephrectomy at our institution were reviewed. Off-clamp, non-renorrhaphy partial nephrectomy was performed using a soft coagulation system. Perioperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) preservation was calculated, and predictors were identified using multivariate regression analysis at 5 days, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery.ResultsThe median operation time was 122 minutes, and the median volume of estimated blood loss was 155 mL. The mean eGFR preservation at 5 days, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery was 95.3%, 91.0%, and 90.7%, respectively. Estimated blood loss was an independent predictor of perioperative decline in eGFR 5 days after surgery [odds ratio (OR): 0.97; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.96, 0.98; P<0.001]. Preoperative eGFR and estimated blood loss were independent predictors of perioperative decline in eGFR 1 month after surgery (OR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.77, 0.95; P=0.007 and OR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.97, 0.99; P<0.001, respectively). Age, preoperative eGFR, and estimated blood loss were independent predictors of perioperative decline in eGFR 3 months after surgery (OR: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.54, 0.81; P<0.001, OR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.61, 0.85; P<0.001; and OR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.97, 0.99; P=0.004, respectively).ConclusionsEstimated blood loss during surgery was a predictor of perioperative decline in eGFR within 3 months after off-clamp, non-renorrhaphy open partial nephrectomy. Age was a predictor of perioperative decline in eGFR 3 months after surgery.

Project description:To compare outcomes of sutureless (SL) vs. renorrhaphy (RR) off-clamp robotic partial nephrectomy (ocRPN), we retrospectively analyzed procedures performed at our center, from January 2017 to April 2021, for cT1-2N0M0 renal masses. All the patients with a minimum follow-up < 1 month were excluded from the analysis. The trifecta rate defined surgical quality. Any worsening from chronic kidney disease (CKD) I-II to ≧ IIIa (from IIIa to ≧ IIIb, and from IIIb to ≧ IV) was considered as significant stage migration (sCKDsm). A 1:1 propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis minimized baseline imbalances between SL and RR cohorts in terms of age, gender, ASA score, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), tumor size, and RENAL score. Logistic regression analyses identified predictors of trifecta achievement. Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis assessed the impact of RR on significant chronic kidney disease sCKDsm-free survival (SMFS), while Cox regression analyses identified its predictors. Overall, 531 patients were included, with a median tumor size of 3.5 cm (IQR: 2.7-5); 70 (13%) presented with a cT2 mass. An SL approach was pursued in 180 cases, but 10 needed conversion to RR. After PSM analysis, patients receiving SL showed a higher trifecta rate (94% vs. 84%; p = 0.007). SMFS probabilities were comparable at KM analysis (log-rank = 0.69). Age (OR: 0.97; 95%CI: 0.95-0.99; p = 0.01), a RENAL score ≧ 10 (OR: 0.29; 95%CI: 0.15-0.57; p < 0.001), and RR (OR: 0.34; 95%CI: 0.17-0.67; p = 0.002) were independent predictors of trifecta achievement. Age (OR: 1.04; 95%CI: 1.003-1.07; p = 0.03) and baseline eGFR (OR: 0.99; 95%CI: 0.97-0.99; p = 0.05) independently predicted sCKDsm. Compared to RR, our experience seems to show that the SL approach significantly increased the probabilities of achieving the trifecta in the observed group of cases.

Project description:Robotic technology allows the beginner surgeon to approach minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy (PN) avoiding the otherwise long learning curve of pure laparoscopy. The present video-article reported the surgical technique and the outcomes of the first 11 cases performed by a young surgeon starting with the experience of robotic PN. Transperitoneal robotic PN, with an off-clamp approach, a simple enucleation technique, and a single-layer medullar renorrhaphy was performed uneventfully in all cases but one, with comparable outcomes to the available literature. With the present experience, we are trying to give the reader a different point of view of the current knowledge. In our series, off-clamp robotic PN was not chosen while looking for a better functional outcome, but rather as a "forced" choice within the specific "in training" setting the interventions were performed in. We underline how the off-clamp approach was the way to cut out the potential for vascular complications derived from the application/removal of the clamp itself on the renal artery. Indeed, when Scanlan bulldogs are not available, one of the limits of robotic PN is that the first surgeon is not autonomous in placing/removing the clamp. We found that tumour enucleation resection technique had the perfect synergistic effect in maximizing the perioperative vision, and thus the safety, notwithstanding the clampless approach.

Project description:PurposeTo report the initial clinical outcomes of the newly devised sliding loop technique (SLT) used for renorrhaphy in patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) for small renal mass.Materials and methodsWe reviewed the surgical videos and medical charts of 31 patients who had undergone RALPN with the SLT renorrhaphy performed by two surgeons (CWJ and CK) between January 2014 and October 2014. SLT renorrhaphy was performed after tumor excision and renal parenchymal defect repair. Assessed outcomes included renorrhaphy time (RT), warm ischemic time, perioperative complications, and perioperative renal function change. RT was defined as interval from the end of bed suture to the renal artery declamping.ResultsIn all patients, sliding loop renorrhaphy was successfully conducted without conversions to radical nephrectomy or open approaches. Mean renorrhaphy and warm ischemic time were 9.0 and 22.6 minutes, respectively. After completing renorrhaphy, there were no adverse events such as dehiscence of approximated renal parenchyma, renal parenchymal tearing, or significant bleeding. Furthermore, no postoperative complications or significant renal function decline were observed as of the last follow-up for all patients. The limitations of this study include the small volume case series, the retrospective nature of the study, and the heterogeneity of surgeons.ConclusionsFrom our initial clinical experience, SLT may be an efficient and safe renorrhaphy method in real clinical practice. Further large scale, prospective, long-term follow-up, and direct comparative studies with other techniques are required to confirm the clinical applicability of SLT.

Project description:BackgroundTo compare the traditional single-layer and double-layer suture renorrhaphy with modified "Binding" suture renorrhaphy (whole rim of the wound was closed by the all-layer flow suture starting from the parenchyma cut edges to hilum, followed by the final defect closure) in robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) for treating localized renal cell carcinoma in our large institutional experience.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed clinical data of 406 consecutive patients who underwent RPN from May 2018 and December 2020 in our center. The demographic and oncologic outcome variables were compared between different renal reconstruction groups and the effect of these suture techniques on renal function outcomes was also evaluated.ResultsFor the single-layer group, median operative time and warm ischemic time were significantly less than that of the double-layer and "Binding" groups (p < 0.001), while the significantly lower eGFR drop (p = 0.014) was also detected within postoperative 3 months from baseline, but this difference lost its statistical significance from 3th month to the last follow-up. The changes in postoperative creatinine values were clinically insignificant among the three groups. In a sub-analysis over 258 patients with moderate/high nephrometry score, those patients who underwent "Binding" suture had an undifferentiated warm ischemic time, estimated blood loss, and length of hospitalization stay with a decreased risk of Grade III complications (postoperative hemorrhage requiring intervention) and improved renal function recovery during the whole follow-up.ConclusionSingle-layer suture renorrhaphy may be associated with better renal functional preservation and could prove to be reliable in patients with low-complexity tumor (RENAL score ≤ 6). Patients with moderate/high-complexity tumor (RENAL score ≥ 7) might represent a subgroup of patients having a functional benefit after "Binding" suture renorrhaphy even in the long-term period.

Project description:BackgroundThis study investigated a comfortable suture angle (CSA) with optimized trocar position for closing the defect during renorrhaphy in retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). The feasibility, usefulness, and safety of achieving the CSA with modified trocar position were determined for different tumor types.MethodsTwo optimized trocar positions were introduced for different tumor types. A suture angle was based on the tumor plane of the superficial parenchyma defect and the line formed by the needle holder. Preliminary surgical simulations determined a CSA that combined the least suture time with the greatest ease of performance. Achieving the CSA was attempted during renorrhaphy of 106 enrolled patients undergoing retroperitoneal LPN. Patients' characteristics, operative features, and follow-up information were collected and analyzed.ResultsFor 89 (83.96%) patients, a CSA was successfully reached and parenchyma recovered. The remaining 17 patients were successfully sutured, but the attempt to achieve a CSA failed. For the CSA group, the suture, clamping, and overall operative times were significantly less than that of the non-CSA patients. The groups were similar regarding estimated blood loss, positive surgical margin, and rates of glomerular filtration reduction and complications. Univariable analyses determined that tumor location, growth pattern, and R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score (RNS) may influence the success of this approach. Multivariable analyses indicated that only tumor location and RNS were independent factors affecting successful achievement of the CSA.ConclusionsThrough different kidney position changes, the CSA could be used to ease the suture process. It is feasible and safe to perform a CSA with optimized trocar position during LPN. Tumor location and RNS may influence the approach to get a CSA.

Project description:BackgroundOngoing efforts are focused on shortening ischemia intervals as much as possible during partial nephrectomy to preserve renal function. Off-clamp partial nephrectomy (off-PN) has been a common strategy for to avoid ischemia in small renal tumors. Although studies comparing the advantages between off-PN with conventional on-clamp partial nephrectomy (on-PN) have been reported, the impact on short- and especially long-term renal function of the two surgical methods has not been discussed seriously and remained unclear. Our purpose is to evaluate the impact on short- (within postoperative 3 months) and long-term (postoperative 6 months or longer) renal function of off-PN compared with that of on-PN.MethodsWe comprehensively searched databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library, without restrictions on language or region. A systematic review and cumulative meta-analysis of the included studies were performed to assess the impact of the two techniques on short- and long-term renal function.ResultsA total of 23 retrospective studies and 2 prospective cohort studies were included. The pooled postoperative short-term decrease of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was significantly less in the off-PN group (weighted mean difference [WMD]: 4.81 ml/min/1.73 m2; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.53 to 6.08; p < 0.00001). The short-term increase in creatinine (Cr) level in the on-PN group was also significant (WMD: - 0.05 mg/dl; 95%CI: - 0.09 to - 0.00; p = 0.04). Significant differences between groups was observed for the long-term change and percent (%) change of eGFR (p = 0.04 and p < 0.00001, respectively) but not for long-term Cr change (p = 0.40). The postoperative short-term eGFR and Cr levels, but not the postoperative long-term eGFR, differed significantly between the two groups. The pooled odds ratios for acute renal failure and postoperative progress to chronic kidney disease (stage≥3) in the off-PN group were found to be 0.25 (p = 0.003) and 0.73 (p = 0.34), respectively, compared with the on-PN group.ConclusionsOff-PN exerts a positive impact on the short- and long-term renal function compared with conventional on-PN. Given the inherent limitations of our included studies, large-volume and well-designed RCTS with extensive follow up are needed to confirm and update the conclusion of this analysis.

Project description:Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy (LPN) after intra-arterial Embolization of renal tumors (LPNE) in a hybrid operating room allows renal tumor enucleation without dissection and clamping of the renal pedicle. The purpose was to assess the potential negative impact of embolization on the renal function. This prospective monocentric study included all patients treated with LPNE between May 2015 and June 2019. Clinical data was collected and incorporated into the UroCCR database (NCT03293563). Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) and Computed Tomography Renal Volume (CTRV) were compared before and after 6 months following LPNE. The mean post-operative GFR was 86.6 mL/min (SD 22.9). The mean GFR loss was 9.4% (SD 15.1) and the median renal parenchyma loss was 21 mL (SD 20.6). Using a threshold of 25% GFR loss, age was the only significant predictive factor of renal function impairment according to bivariate (59.5 vs 69.3 years, p = 0.017) and multivariable analysis (OR 1.075, CI 1-1.2], p = 0.05). Significant renal function impairment was not correlated with the renal parenchymal volume loss (OR 0.987, CI [0.95-1.02], p = 0.435). Renal function impairment after LPNE seems to be comparable to other techniques of partial nephrectomy.

Project description:To evaluate the surgical and functional outcomes between robot-assisted (CRO-RAPN) vs. laparoscopic (CRO-LPN) methods of cortical-renorrhaphy-omitting partial nephrectomy. Between July 2012 and June 2020, patients with localized clinical T1-2 renal masses who underwent CRO-RAPN or CRO-LPN were reviewed. The outcomes of the two groups were compared using propensity-score matching. Trifecta was defined as negative surgical margin, warm ischemic time < 25 min, and absence of complications of Clavien-Dindo grade III or more until three months postoperatively. The preservation rate of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was evaluated at six months postoperatively. Among 291 patients (CRO-RAPN, n = 210; CRO-LPN, n = 81) included in the study, 150 matched pairs of patients were analyzed. Compared to the CRO-LPN group, the CRO-RAPN group was associated with shorter warm ischemic time (13 min vs. 20 min, P < 0.001), shorter total operation time (162 min vs. 212 min, P < 0.001), less estimated blood loss (40 mL vs. 119 mL, P = 0.002), lower incidence of overall complications (3% vs. 16%, P = 0.001), higher preservation rate of eGFR at six months postoperatively (93% vs. 89%, P = 0.003), and higher trifecta achievement rate (84% vs. 64%, P = 0.004). CRO-RAPN contributed to shorter warm ischemic time, less blood loss, fewer complications, and higher preservation of renal function, all of which allowed this technique to achieve a higher rate of trifecta compared to CRO-LPN.
