Randomized Evaluation of Patients Who Have Had Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy

Korábbi kezelés

• Patients who have had a renal transplantation.
• Patients on therapeutic anticoagulation prior to surgery (example anticoagulants include: aspirin 325 mg daily, clopidogrel, warfarin, fondaparinux, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban). However, patients who take aspirin 81 mg daily as their daily regimen will be included.
• Patients who have had a prior surgical procedure, aside from percutaneous renal biopsy, on the kidney in the current operation.
• Patients with over 100 mL of estimated blood loss (calculated by anesthesia team using the suction canisters) prior to clamping of the renal hilum will be excluded.

Laborértékek

• Patients with bleeding disorders (example: hemophilia) and other documented coagulopathy (example: chronic liver disease) with INR greater than 1.0 at baseline.

Egyéb

• Patients on hemodialysis.

• Male and female patients aged 18 years and older.
• Patients must have a solid or cystic renal mass suspicious for malignancy by imaging with ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
• Patients must be initially scheduled RALPN as opposed to radical nephrectomy or other techniques for partial nephrectomy such as open surgery or pure laparoscopy without robot assistance.
• Patients with bilateral kidneys or a solitary kidney, so long as these are native kidneys as opposed to a transplanted kidney.
• Patients can have the common single renal artery and single renal vein, or they can have common variants such as two renal arteries and/or two renal veins.
