| Summary: | A secure method of achieving hemostasis during partial nephrectomy to accomplish guillotine polar amputation is described.
A common hardware item, the so-called cable tie, proved to be useful during removal of a block of neoplastic renal tissue from the lower central pole of a unilateral kidney.
Complete hemostasis and resection of the renal parenchyma were obtained with ease and minimal expense.
The use of a flexible plastic compression tape has proved valuable to adhere to organ contours closely, maximally control bleeding and marking a line of incision during amputation of a portion of the renal substance. This device may prove useful for analogous surgical purposes with other vascular organs. |
