Evaluation of surgery-related kidney volume loss to predict the outcomes of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with segmental renal artery clamping

Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) with segmental renal artery clamping has become an important method to minimize the warm ischemia of the kidney during the surgery. In the present study, we adopted a new model of calculating surgery-related kidney volume loss (SKVL), which was derived from the imaging technology to predict the outcomes of LPN with segmental renal artery clamping. A total of 111 consecutive patients underwent LPN with...
