Patient 2 of 3: from literature: cenk gurbuz, et.Al."off-clamp laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for a low renal nephromethry scored patients".A-18.Introduction and objectives: because of the impact warm ischemia time may have on renal function, various surgical techniques have been proposed to minimize or eliminate warm ischemia.The objective of this study is to evaluate our initial outcomes of trans or retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy (r/tlpn) performed by off-clamp excision.Methods: between august 2012 and march 2014, 41 consecutive patients underwent off clamp r/tlpn at our institution.After excision of tumor, renorrhaphy plus biologic hemostatics flosealô (baxter healthcare corp., (b)(4)) were performed.Results: majority of the patients (39) were noted to have a low (4¿6) renal nephromethry score (rns) and 2 patients had a moderate (7¿9) rns.No hilar location tumor was noted.The mean tumor size among this cohort was 33.1 (range, 2.0¿6.0) cm, and the mean estimated blood loss was 266 (range, 70¿500)ml.One patient required blood transfusion.Open conversion was needed in 1 patient.The mean hospital stay was 2.9 (range, 2¿5) days.The mean percentage of postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate change increased by 0.8%.Two patients with grade iii complication by the clavien-dindo classification were treated by endoscopic intervention.Surgical margin was noted positive in 3 patients.Conclusions: our initial experience with off-clamp lpn demonstrates encouraging results of minimal renal function loss and complications in patients with a low rns.Two (2) patients grade iii clavien complications.One (1) patient required conversion to open surgery.(this complaint is regarding one of two patients with grade iii clavien complications.) note: the occurrence date is unknown.
