Abstract
Introduction: Three-dimensional image-guided surgical (3D-IGS) systems for minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN) can potentially improve the efficiency and accuracy of intraoperative anatomical localization and tumor resection. This review seeks to analyze the current state of research regarding 3D-IGS, including the evaluation of clinical outcomes, system functionality, and qualitative insights regarding 3D-IGS's impact on surgical procedures. Methods: We have systematically reviewed the clinical literature pertaining to 3D-IGS deployed for MIPN. For inclusion, studies must produce a patient-specific 3D anatomical model from two-dimensional imaging. Data extracted from the studies include clinical results, registration (alignment of the 3D model to the surgical scene) method used, limitations, and data types reported. A subset of studies was qualitatively analyzed through an inductive coding approach to identify major themes and subthemes across the studies. Results: Twenty-five studies were included in the review. Eight (32%) studies reported clinical results that point to 3D-IGS improving multiple surgical outcomes. Manual registration was the most utilized (48%). Soft tissue deformation was the most cited limitation among the included studies. Many studies reported qualitative statements regarding surgeon accuracy improvement, but quantitative surgeon accuracy data were not reported. During the qualitative analysis, six major themes emerged across the nine applicable studies. They are as follows: 3D-IGS is necessary, 3D-IGS improved surgical outcomes, researcher/surgeon confidence in 3D-IGS system, enhanced surgeon ability/accuracy, anatomical explanation for qualitative assessment, and claims without data or reference to support. Conclusions: Currently, clinical outcomes are the main source of quantitative data available to point to 3D-IGS's efficacy. However, the literature qualitatively suggests the benefit of accurate 3D-IGS for robotic partial nephrectomy.

Robot-Assisted Renal Surgery with the New Hugo Ras System: Trocar Placement and Docking Settings. J Pers Med 2023; 13:1372. [PMID: 37763140 PMCID: PMC10532520 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13091372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The current literature relating to the novel HugoTM RAS System lacks consistent data concerning the bedside features of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). To describe the trocar placement and docking settings for RAPN with a three-arm configuration to streamline the procedure with HugoTM RAS, between October 2022 and April 2023, twenty-five consecutive off-clamp RAPNs for renal tumors with the HugoTM RAS System were performed. We conceived a trouble-free three-arm setting to ease and standardize RAPN trocar placement and docking settings with HugoTM RAS. Perioperative data were collected. Post-operative complications were reported according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. The eGFR was calculated according to the CKD-EPI formula. Continuous variables were presented as the median and IQR, while frequencies were reported as categorical variables. Off-clamp RAPNs were successfully performed in all cases without the need for conversion or additional port placement. The median age and BMI were 69 years (IQR, 60-73) and 27.3 kg/m2 (IQR, 25.7-28.1), respectively. The median tumor size and R.E.N.A.L. score were 32.5 mm (IQR, 26-43.7) and 6 (IQR, 5-7), respectively. Two patients were affected by cT2 renal tumors. The median docking and console time were 5 (IQR, 5-6) and 90 min (IQR, 68-135.75 min), respectively, with slightly progressive improvements in the docking time achieved. No intraoperative complications occurred alongside clashes between instruments or with the bed assistant. In experienced hands, this simplified three-instrument configuration of the HugoTM RAS System for off-clamp RAPN resulted in feasible and safe practice, providing patient-tailored trocar placement and docking with non-inferior peri-perioperative outcomes to other robotic platforms.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58050667. [PMID: 35630084 PMCID: PMC9144406 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58050667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Consequences of partial nephrectomy (PN), intraoperative hypotension (IOH) and postoperative neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) may cause postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and in long-term-chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our study aimed to identify the AKI incidence after PN, to find clinically significant postoperative AKI and renal dysfunction, and to determine the predictor factors. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study consisted of 91 patients who received PN with warm ischemia, and estimated preoperative glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min and without abnormal albuminuria. Results: 38 (41.8%) patients experienced postoperative AKI. Twenty-one (24.1%) patients had CKD upstage after 1 year follow-up. Sixty-seven percent of CKD upstage patients had AKI 48 h after surgery and 11% after 2 months. All 15 (16.5%) patients with CKD had postoperative AKI. With IOH, OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.03−1.10 and p < 0.001, postoperative NLR after 48 h (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.19−1.88, p < 0.001) was the major risk factor of AKI. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the kidney’s resected part volume (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03−1.14, p < 0.001) and IOH (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.04−1.15, p < 0.001) were retained as statistically significant prognostic factors for detecting postoperative renal dysfunction. The independent risk factor for clinically significant postoperative AKI was only IOH (OR, 1.06; p < 0.001). Only AKI with the CKD upstage group has a statistically significant effect (p < 0.0001) on eGFR 6 and 12 months after surgery. Conclusions: The presence of AKI after PN is not rare. IOH and NLR are associated with postoperative AKI. The most important predictive factor of postoperative AKI is an NLR of over 3.5. IOH is an independent risk factor for clinically significant postoperative AKI and together with kidney resected part volume effects postoperative renal dysfunction. Only clinically significant postoperative AKI influences the reduction of postoperative eGFR after 6 and 12 months.

Abstract
Background: It is known that ischemia-reperfusion damage in the kidney is one of the most common causes of acute kidney failure. It is also known that reduced renal damage has a nephroprotective effect by reducing the release of inflammatory and vasoactive peptides that cause tissue damage. Therefore, we think that reperfusion caused by ischemia in kidney damage may be an important focus for clinical research. Methods: A total of 21 healthy 230-250 g female rats were used in our experimental study. During the experiment, animals were randomly divided into three groups, each containing seven rats. Group 1: The group that underwent left nephrectomy with a sham operation. Group 2: Left renal ischemia for 60 minutes, then left nephrectomy followed by 45 minutes of reperfusion. Group 3: Left renal ischemia for 60 minutes, then reperfusion for 45 minutes, followed by left nephrectomy. In this group, sugammadex was given intravenously at a dose of 100 mg/kg at the beginning of reperfusion. In the histomorphological examination, damage findings of tubules atrophy, dilation and cast formation, tubular epithelial brush border loss and vacuolization, presence of fibrosis as interstitial structural change, capillary vasodilatation/congestion and neutrophilic cell infiltrates in interstitial spaces, and morphological changes in glomeruli were evaluated. Results: When evaluated based on tubular brush border, there were no significant differences between Group 2 and Group 1 (P = 0.454), while the damage in Group 3 was less significant than Group 2 (P = 0.017). When evaluated in terms of tubular vacuolization, there was no significant difference between Group 2 and Group 1 (P = 0.902), while the damage in Group 3 was less significant than Group 2 (P = 0.017). Conclusion: We believe that 100 mg/kg sugammadex given at the beginning of reperfusion after one hour of ischemic condition on rats has a histochemically detectable nephroprotective effect.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate clinical outcomes of open and retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery in the treatment of complex renal tumours. Methods: A retrospective case study was conducted. Patients with complex renal tumours admitted to our hospital between January 2018 and September 2019 were enrolled; the included patients (n=40) were divided into the observation group (open partial nephrectomy, n=20) and control group (laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, n=20) according to operation modes. The operation time, renal warm ischaemia time, intraoperative blood loss, renal pedicle blocking time, intestinal function recovery time, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications were recorded. Results: Significant differences were noted regarding renal warm ischaemia time, renal pedicle blocking time, intraoperative blood loss, operation time, and postoperative hospital stay between the observation and control groups (P<0.05); however, no significant difference was observed in intestinal function recovery time and postoperative drainage days (P>0.05). Conclusion: Open surgery remains the recommended surgical method for the treatment of few complex tumours in the renal hilus region and has gradually become the renal surgery of choice at present, although laparoscopic surgery has evolved tremendously.

Abstract
Most image-guided interventions rely on surgical tracking and image/model to patient registration to establish a spatial relationship between the patient and the pre- and intraprocedural images, by using surgical tracking and localization systems. In this work, we characterize the tracking, registration and navigation accuracy using two different surgical localization systems - the NDI Polaris Spectra optical tracking system and the NDI Aurora electromagnetic tracking system - in the context of an image-guided renal intervention, using a 3D printed life-size model of a patient-specific kidney phantom generated from a CT image. Our results reported a 0.05 mm fiducial localization error, 0.70 mm fiducial registration error, and 0.78 mm target registration error, and 0.63 mm overall navigation error using the optical tracking, and 0.12 mm fiducial localization error, 0.78 mm fiducial registration error, 0.93 mm target registration error and 0.89 mm overall navigation error using electromagnetic tracking. Additionally, our study also showed similarity between the overall navigation accuracy using optical (0.63 mm RMS error) or electromagnetic tracking (0.89 mm RMS error) and the overall navigation accuracy achieved using direct visualization of the surgical scene (0.68 mm and 1.06 RMS error respectively), which serves as a baseline control metric.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) is the gold standard treatment for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC); however, patients presenting with small low-grade UTUC have been treated by flexible ureteroscopic laser ablation with good outcomes. Different types of laser have been discussed in the literature including Holmium and Neodymium lasers. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of Thulium laser (Tm:YAG) in the ureteroscopic ablation of UTUC. METHODS A retrospective observational multicentre study of patients diagnosed with papillary UTUC between January 2015 and December 2016 was carried out. All patients underwent ureteroscopic biopsy of the UTUC followed by Tm:YAG ablation. Based on the histopathological grade of the tumor, patients were counseled to undergo either RNU (high- grade tumors) or conservative management and follow-up (low-grade tumor). RESULTS RNU was performed in 31 patients, while the remaining 47 patients (undergone Tm:YAG ablation only) were followed up for a mean of 11.7 months with only 19.2% of patients showing upper tract recurrence and no patients showed postoperative ureteral strictures. Limitations include the short follow-up and retrospective nature of the study. CONCLUSIONS On the short term, thulium Laser ablation of UTUC is safe and feasible especially in low-grade UTUC.
