Editorial Comment: Study of kidney morphologic and structural changes related to different ischemia times and types of clamping of the renal vascular pedicle
Abstract:Mazzeo and collegues from Sao Paulo -Brazil shows in a very interesting paper the morphologic and structural changes of renal parenchyma during the clamping of the renal pedicle. Partial nephrectomy (open, laparoscopic or robotic) is considered the gold standard for treating localized renal tumors (1-6). Warm renal ischemia is commonly performed during partial nephrectomy to achieve a bloodless surgical field, however renal ischemia has been associated with renal function impairment (7).Previous studies shows … Show more
