Popis: To determine whether transfusion using the Cell Saver system is associated with inferior outcomes in patients undergoing open partial nephrectomy.All patients who underwent open partial nephrectomy by a single surgeon (BJD) from August 2008 to April 2015 were retrospectively identified. Operations were grouped and compared according to whether they included a transfusion using the Cell Saver intraoperative cell salvage system.Sixty-nine open partial nephrectomies in 67 patients were identified. Thirty-three procedures (48%) included a Cell Saver transfusion. Most tumors were clear cell renal cell carcinoma (62%) and stage T1a (68%). There were no significant differences between groups for any measured clinical or pathologic characteristics. Operations including a Cell Saver transfusion were longer (141 vs 108 minutes, P .001), had significantly greater blood loss (600 vs 200 mL, P .001), and had longer median renal ischemia times (15 vs 10 minutes, P = .03). There were no significant differences in postoperative complication rate (21% vs 17%, P = .83) or median length of hospital stay (3 vs 3 days, P = .09). At a median follow-up of 23 months (interquartile range: 8-42 months), 1 patient in the non-Cell Saver transfusion group had cancer recurrence. There was no metastatic progression or cancer-specific mortality in either group.Cell Saver transfusion during open partial nephrectomy was not associated with inferior outcomes with short-term follow-up, and no patients developed metastatic disease.
