[Laser-supported partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma].
To decrease the disadvantages of vascular hilar clamping, we tested the use of a laser for partial nephrectomy. We conclude that laser-supported partial nephrectomy without clamping of the renal vessels, particularly in carefully selected patients, is a safe alternative to classic partial nephrectomy.
