Novel technique of knotless hemostatic renal parenchymal suture repair during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
Free-hand parenchymal suturing during warm-ischemia, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a complex and time-sensitive task. We describe a relatively simpler technique of achieving renal parenchymal hemostasis during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy using a polymer self-locking (Hem-o-Lok) clip.
