Abstract:Objective: To investigate the effect and feasibility of off-clamp retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RLPN) for T1N0M0 renal tumors. Methods: Retrospective comparative study was performed for two groups of patients with T1N0M0 renal tumors enrolled from March 2013 to September 2015. Off-clamp group was consisted of 27 cases who underwent RRLPN without renal hilar control, and on-clamp group included 36 cases who underwent RRLPN with total hilar control by the same surgeon (Fu Bin). Results: All procedures were performed successfully without conversion. The mean warm ischemia time for on-clamp group was (21.6±5.3)min. Off-clamp group had more bleeding, and longer tumor resection time than on-clamp group (113.6±26.3/46.2±12.5 mL; 5.3±3.2/4.3±1.2 min, respectively, P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in suturing time for renal mesenchymal defect, positive surgical margins, transfusion, complications and postoperative hospital stay time (P>0.05). Compared with on-clamp group, the results of eGFR 7 days and six months after surgery for off-clamp group were better (46.8±9.1/62.1±8.3)mL·min-1·1.73 m-2, (59.5±7.8/72.5±5.7)mL·min-1·1.73 m-2, respectively, (P<0.05);while the results of postoperative 1-year-eGFR were similar between two groups (76.5±7.9 / 68.8±9.7 mL·min-1·1.73 m-2,P>0.05). Furthermore, the average postoperative change rate of eGFR was statistically significant between off-clamp group and on-clamp group (-2.3/-7.6, P<0.05). No tumor recurrence and metastasis were occurred during 12-months follow-up for these patients. Conclusions: Off-clamp RRLPN is safe and feasible for T1N0M0 renal tumor with better renal function preservation, but more technically challenging.
