Overview
To compare the outcome of thulium beam coagulation versus suture renorrhaphy for hemostasis of the tumor bed in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
Description
To date, no studies have compared the outcomes of thulium beam coagulation versus suture renorrhaphy for hemostasis of tumor bed in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in patients with small renal messes (SRMs).
This study aims to compare the outcome of thulium beam coagulation versus suture renorrhaphy for hemostasis of the tumor bed in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
The investigators hypothesize that:
Conducted well designed, randomized prospective comparative study can help to identify which technique is better.
Using thulium beam coagulation for hemostasis of the tumor bed in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy can improve the outcome, shorten intraoperative ischemia time and decrease blood loss.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- cT1 single renal mass.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Absolute contraindication for laparoscopic surgery (e.g., severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency, and chronic obstructive lung disease).
- Renal mass involving the hilum.
- Renal mass in patients with chronic kidney disease.
