Although salvage partial nephrectomy is technically demanding and it has a high complication rate, it allows many patients to avoid dialysis. We believe that this experience can be used as a reference for surgeons and patients when considering the risks and benefits of salvage partial nephrectomy.
Introduction-Intraoperative cholangiograms (IOCs) may increase cost, surgical time, and radiation exposure to staff and patients. We introduce the application of passive infrared (IR) imaging to intraoperative cholangiography as a feasible alternative to traditional fluoroscopic IOCs.
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.
