Brief Title: Zero Ischemia Laparoscopic Radio Frequency Ablation Assisted Enucleation of Renal Cell Carcinoma With T1a Stage
Official Title: Zero Ischemia Laparoscopic Radio Frequency Ablation Assisted Enucleation of Renal Cell Carcinoma With T1a Stage : Clinical Outcomes of a Randomised Controlled Trial
Study ID: NCT01838720
Brief Summary: To evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of zero ischemia laparoscopic radio frequency ablation assisted enucleation of T1a renal cell carcinoma in comparison with the conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
Detailed Description: Warm ischemic injury is one of the most important factors affecting renal function in partial nephrectomy (PN). Zero ischemia partial nephrectomy technique using renal arterial branch microdissection could protect renal function during surgery, but it requires longer operative time and more blood loss than conventional partial nephrectomy. The technique of zero ischemia laparoscopic radio frequency ablation assisted enucleation of renal cell carcinoma appears to be an alternative that eliminates warm ischemia, preserves the maximal parenchyma and is oncologically safe. Our study was designed to evaluate this technique in comparison with the conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
