title: [Segmental polar nephrectomy].
abstract: On the basis of anatomical studies of renal vessels, segmental polar nephrectomy has been designed. The key point is to identify blood-loss area of the segmental pole by interruption of the upper or the lower segmental polar artery before partial nephrectomy. The merits of the procedure are non-compression of the renal pedicle vessels, appropriate extent of the segmental polar nephrectomy and less hemorrhage.
