title: [Massive migration of Hem-o-lok® clips following open partial nephrectomy: a case report and literature review].
abstract: The sliding-clip renorraphy technique using Hem-o-lok(®) clips for parenchymal closure in partial nephrectomy is largely used in laparoscopic, robotic and sometimes open surgery. We present here a case of massive migration of the clips after open partial nephrectomy. We discuss the imaging characteristics of those clips: not visible on plain X-ray, low density on computed tomography, before reviewing previously published cases.
