- Abstract
The article discusses an image-based technique used for assisting tumour excision during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. It states that cutting instruments do not have the suitable curvature to remove the tumour in the renal parenchyma, and the fulcrum effect on the instruments and the loss of direct tactile feedback adds to the difficulty of the procedure. Hence, it describes the technique, which it says can work on tumours of varying shapes, size and depths.
