- Abstract
Introduction: Laparoscopic minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN) is the preferred technique in renal surgery, especially T1 phase kidney tumours, and it is recommended for the protection of renal functions in methods that do not involve ischaemia. Aim: To evaluate long-term renal functions of zero-ischaemia laparoscopic MIPN patients who underwent a modified sequential preplaced suture renorrhaphy technique. Material and methods: In a total of 17 renal units in 16 patients with kidney tumours that were determined incidentally and did not cause any complaints, the masses were extracted via laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) using the modified sequential preplaced suture renorrhaphy technique. Creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values of the patients were measured preoperatively and on the first day and after 12 months postoperatively, and the results were compared. Results: The differences between the pre- and postoperative values were statistically significant (p = 0.033, p = 0.045), but the changes in postoperative creatinine and eGFR values were clinically insignificant. While the differences between preoperative and first-day postoperative creatinine and eGFR values were found to be statistically significant (p = 0.039, p = 0.042, respectively), a statistically significant difference was not detected between preoperative and 12-month postoperative creatinine and eGFR values (p = 0.09, p = 0.065, respectively). The global percentage of functional recovery was measured as 92.5% on the first day and 95.9% at the 12th month. Conclusions: The modified sequential preplaced suture renorrhaphy technique is an effective, reliable method for avoiding complications and preserving renal functions and nephrons in appropriate patients.
