[Efficacy analysis of retroperitoneal laparoscopic selective renal artery branch occlusion and nephron sparing surgery for ≥ T1b stage renal carcinoma].

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of retroperitoneal laparoscopic selective renal artery branch occlusion with nephron sparing surgery in patients with renal carcinoma of stage ≥ T1b. Methods: From July 2016 to September 2020, 35 patients with renal cancer ≥T1b underwent retroperitoneoscopic nephron sparing surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University. The surgical methods were retroperitoneoscopic nephron sparing surgery with total renal artery occlusion (group A) or selective renal artery branch occlusion (group B). Operation time, heat ischemia time, blood transfusion rate, positive margin rate, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups, and the total glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (sGFR) of the offected kidneys were compared between the two groups before, 3 months after and 12 months after surgery. Results: Among the 35 patients, 19 were male and 16 were female, aged (55.7±8.4) years and the body mass index is (24.6±3.1) kg/m2. The tumor diameter was (54.7±10.3) mm. The difference was statistically significant of operative time between group A and B [(103.5±14.3) vs (123.2±14.1) min,P=0.003]. There were no significant differences in thermal ischemia time, blood transfusion rate, positive margin, intraoperative blood loss, incidence of postoperative complications and length of hospital stay between the two groups (all P>0.05). The decrease of renal sGFR in the group A was significantly higher than group B at 3 months and 12 months after surgery [(23.1±3.6) vs (29.1±7.1) ml/min;(25.9±4.7) vs (30.7±7.2),both P<0.05]. Conclusion: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic selective renal artery branch occlusion and neon-sparing surgery for patients with ≥ T1b stage renal carcinoma is a safe and effective surgical method, which can well protect the renal function of patients in the early postoperative stage without increasing intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications.
