1 However, simultaneously achieving all of the above goals in patients with renal hilar tumors remains technically challenging, and therefore ongoing efforts have focused on minimizing or even eliminating renal ischemia, such as the off-clamp and zero-ischemia minimally invasive partial nephrectomy techniques.
2,3 Nevertheless, these reported techniques require a longer operative time and are associated with greater estimated blood loss. …
