title: Renal hypothermia using ice slush for retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
abstract: Renal hypothermia using ice slush for retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was performed in 2 patients. A cylindrical device was secured in the enlarged port site. Through the device, ice slush was introduced and placed around the kidney. The nadir renal temperature under renal ischemia in the 2 patients was 18.4 degrees C and 25.8 degrees C.
