Popis: | We performed enucleation on 2 patients with incidentally-found renal cell carcinoma using a microwave tissue coagulator. The mean size of the renal tumor was 25 mm. The clinical stage was T1aN0M0 in both patients. In one patient, the renal tumor was enucleated without clumping of renal artery. In the other patient, 5 minutes of clumping of renal artery was required. The mean operative time and blood loss were 113 minutes and 260 mL respectively. Enucleation of renal tumor without clumping of renal artery is possible for a microwave tissue coagulator, it could decreased operation time and blood loss, and was considered to be safe and useful. |
