A technique of the segmental devitalization of kidneys in experiment.
With the help of partially overlapping parenchymatous sutures, different renal segments were devitalized. After 8 weeks, a fibrous conversion occurred in devitalized part of the kidney. For the orientation during establishing the sutures, a topographic schematic diagram was used, which is simple and quite satisfactory for the use in practice. The study was performed on minipigs (21 x unilaterally, 3 x bilaterally) without any exitus of the experimental animals. A long series of experiments was performed in 37 rats on one kidney and in 40 rats bilaterally. Only in 3 rats the cause of the exitus was obviously in a connection with eliminating more than 70 to 75% of the renal parenchyma from the function. The devitalization technique presents good results in both series of the experiments. Possibilities of its use in the clinical practice in cases, where the resection therapy is being used currently, are discussed.
