Zero Ischemia Anatomical Partial Nephrectomy: A Novel Approach

Abstract: The concept of zero ischemia robotic and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is presented. This anatomical vascular microdissection of the artery first and then tumor allows even complex tumors to be excised without hilar clamping. Global surgical renal ischemia is unnecessary for the majority of patients undergoing robotic and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy at our institution.

“…18 Several technically challenging nonclamping approaches have been recently proposed to avoid renal ischemia, with significantly higher complication rates. 19,20 Using open partial nephrectomy for excision of a renal mass involving direct clamp occlusion of the renal blood vessels, we have conducted a prospective study that evaluates for the first time the structural response of the human kidney to clamp ischemia and initial reperfusion in association with assessment of short-term renal functional outcomes and novel biomarkers. Our results document substantial resistance of the human kidney to clamp ischemia and have implications for both the basic understanding of ischemic injury in human kidneys and the care of patients requiring isolated controlled ischemia for partial nephrectomy and other procedures.…”

“…If available within the laparoscopic or robotic camera it could be used for testing of new cooling techniques with the advantage of being a non-contact device as already discussed. Moreover, with the advances in nephron-sparing surgery and trend towards very selective clamping (22), the IRT could be used to define the area without blood flow after the desired branch of renal artery was occluded during partial nephrectomy procedures just by establishing temperature differences.…”
