Comparative StudyLaparoscopic partial nephrectomy using FloSeal for hemostasis: technique and experiences in 102 patients.
The authors report their techniques, perioperative data, and oncological outcome for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in a single-center experience with 3 different surgeons. ⋯ Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with the use of FloSeal is a feasible and safe method for treatment of small renal masses. The technique is reproducible by surgeons who are used to complex laparoscopic procedures. Patient outcome during follow-up was comparable with data published for open standard procedures.
