Laparoscopic Nephron Sparing Surgery Assisted with Laparoscopic Ultrasonography on Centrally Located Renal Tumor - Single Center Experience

摘要

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (LNSS) assisted with laparoscopic ultrasonography (LUS) on centrally located renal tumors. Materials and Methods: Clinical data of 19 patients who underwent LNSS on centrally located renal tumors assisted with LUS were retrospectively analyzed. LUS was used to confirm the location, size, blood supply, and boundary of renal tumors, and to confirm that the tumor was removed completely with negative margin. Results: The 19 centrally located renal tumors were deep in renal parenchyma without obvious convex. Eleven cases were in the middle of the kidney, 3 cases were in the upper pole, and 5 cases were in the inferior pole. The tumor size was in the range 1.0-3.9 cm, with an average of 2.46 cm. The pathological results were 13 cases of renal clear cell carcinoma, 1 case of reninoma, 1 case of renal cyst, and 3 cases of angioleiomyolipoma. The surgical margins were negative in all 19 cases. Conclusions: LUS has a high clinical value in LNNS on centrally located renal tumors and it helps to determine the location of centrally located tumors and guarantee negative margins. (C) 2016 S.
