Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate the value of Gerota’s fascia suspension device in retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, and to share the operation experience. Methods: From October 2018 to December 2020, 6 cases of tumor located in the ventral side of the kidney were selected, including 3 males and 3 females, with 3 cases on the right side and 3 cases on the left side, aged 38-60 years, with an average of 52 years. The body mass index (BMI) was 18.3-30.2 kg/m2, with an average of 22.9 kg/m2. One patient with diabetes mellitus, three patients with renal cysts, and two patients underwent cholecystectomy before. All the patients were found by physical examinations. The course of disease was 7 days to 20 years, with a median time of 1 month. The tumor was in the ventral side of the kidney, 2 cases located in the upper pole, 1 case in the lower pole and 3 cases near the renal hilum. The tumor size was 1.2-7.8 cm, with an average of 4.5 cm. The R.E.N.A.L score was 7 in 1 case, 8 in 3 cases and 9 in 2 cases. After the preoperative examination completed, retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (Gerota’s fascia suspension device) was performed. Results: All the operations were successfully completed. The operation time ranged from 139 to 193 min,with an average of 172 min. The renal artery occlusion time was 7-43 min, with an average of 19 min, only one case was more than 30 min. The blood loss ranged from 10 to 500 mL, with an average of 128 mL. The postoperative hospital stay ranged from 4 to 13 days, with an average of 6.5 days. Postoperative pathology revealed 4 cases of renal angiomyolipoma and 2 cases of renal clear cell carcinoma. The patients were followed up for 2-27 months, with an average of 17 months, without recurrence. Conclusion: In the operation of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, Gerota’s fascia suspension device is beneficial to expose the ventral surgical field, and it is convenient for the surgeon to operate with both hands. This technique is an effective method to deal with the ventral renal tumor, which is worthy of promotion.
