Abstract

Background: In recent years, open nephron sparing partial nephrectomy (OPN) has been gradually applied and generally accepted. Recent statistical data show that PN not only can safely and effectively preserve the functional nephron, but also has fewer complications, low local recurrence rate and no significant difference in long-term survival rate compared with nephrectomy/radical nephrectomy, which has gradually become a routine treatment for small renal cell carcinoma. Therefore, how to maximize the protection of postoperative residual renal function (RRF) and reduce the risk of CKD while achieving the ideal local and overall tumor control effect is the key to the treatment of renal cancer, and is also the focus of attention of urologists and nephrologists.

Objective: To evaluate the safety of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RLPN) by investigating the perioperative indicators and postoperative follow-up.

Methods: A total of 40 hospitalized patients in our hospital from December 2019 to December 2021 were selected and followed up for a long time. Patients with renal tumors less than 4cm in diameter and exogeneous or partial exogeneity were randomly divided into 2 groups. Patients in retroperitoneal laparoscopic group (n = 20) were treated with nephron sparing partial nephrectomy (0.5-1cm). Twenty patients underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN).The time of removal of drainage tube, drainage volume, time of feeding activity and postoperative hospital stay were recorded, and the safety of the operation was evaluated.

Results: nephron sparing partial nephrectomy is suitable for patients with localized renal carcinoma or benign tumor <4cm. RLPN can be applied to all indications of open nephron sparing partial nephrectomy (OPN), with good safety, and can preserve residual renal function to the greatest extent. The operative vascular occlusion time was controlled within 40 minutes, and the use of renal function protection measures during the operation was safe and controllable in reducing the prevention of warm ischemic kidney damage, with good safety. The renal tumor capsule with 0.5cm~1cm margin was complete by postoperative pathology. In the process of tumor resection and suture collection system in the RLPN group, we improved the previous operation of "resection before hemostasis" to "resection while hemostasis" and "knot-free suture" technology, which saved the operation time of intracavity suture knotting. Reduced cortical tear caused by vertical pull during knot tying. The combined effect of biological clip and hemostatic gauze can stimulate the granulation proliferation of renal cortical wound and accelerate the repair. With the combination of knot-free suture and renal segment vascular occlusion, hot ischemic kidney damage is reduced. In the RLPN group, there were no complications of urinary fistula and bleeding, and no abnormal changes in renal function during follow-up. The safety of RLPN group is worthy of affirmation.

Conclusion: The perioperative safety and short-term postoperative renal function recovery of RLPN are good, and the overall safety of this operation is worthy of affirmation.
