Systemic Heparinisation in Laparoscopic Live Donor Nephrectomy

Introduction. Systemic heparinisation is advocated during laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy (LDN) as a preventative measure against renal vascular thrombosis during the warm ischaemic interval. This study compares the outcome with and without the administration of systemic heparinisation. Methods. A retrospective analysis was performed on 186 consecutive LDN patients between April 2008 and No...

Effect of warm ischemia time during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy on early postoperative glomerular filtration rate.

PURPOSE We evaluated the effect of warm ischemia time on early postoperative renal function following laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 453 patients who were surgically treated for renal tumors between May 2001 and September 2007, and who were identified in our database 128 underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Of these 128 patients 101 who were evaluable had co...

Alternative techniques to reduce warm ischemia time in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

PURPOSE Demonstrate two alternatives that permit a warm ischemia time reduction during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this video, two cases of intermediate complexity renal tumors according to the RENAL nephrometry renal scoring system illustrating the techniques and our preliminary experience: a 65 year old man with a 4 cm right, posterior renal tumor. This patien...

Mini-Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy

INTRODUCTION Rdonor nephrectomy (LDN)(1,2) and now it is performed in the most major transplant centers for donor nephrectomy. Further attempts are made to make this minimally invasive technique more acceptable for donors by introducing transumbilical and pfannenstiel laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS) nephrectomy.(3,4) not only more cosmetic comparing to standard laparoscopy (SL), but...
