Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for XXXX : feasibility and analysis of peri-operative outcomes.

@entity1 @entity1625 @entity190 @entity5 @entity703
OBJECTIVE:     To describe our experience with @entity1625 ( @entity1625 ) for @entity703 and compare the outcomes with @entity1625 performed for single masses. @entity1 AND METHODS:     Retrospective analysis of medical records of @entity1 undergoing @entity1625 at our institution between 2005 and 2009 was performed.     The cohort was divided in two groups based on @entity5 focality: group 1, @entity1625 for a @entity5 (n= 99) and group 2, @entity1625 for multiple @entity5 (n= 12).     The groups were compared with regards to demographic and peri-operative variables. RESULTS:     Demographic variables were not different between the groups. Median dominant @entity5 size was 3.1 cm (interquartile range [IQR] 2.4-4.0) and 4.0 cm (2.3-5.9) in groups 1 and 2, respectively.     Median secondary @entity5 size in group 2 was 1.0 cm (1.0-1.8).     Operative times were longer in group 2 compared with group 1 (220 vs 160 min, P= 0.009).     Warm ischaemia times (WIT) (23 vs 22 min) and estimated @entity190 (EBL) (100 vs 85 mL) were similar. CONCLUSIONS:     @entity1625 is a viable option for the treatment of multiple @entity703 .     Peri-operative outcomes are similar to standard @entity1625 with the exception of longer operative time.     In experienced hands, the advantages of minimally invasive surgery may be extended to select @entity1 with @entity703 .
