Abstract
- An in situ hypothermia technique allows ample exposure for a precise and bloodless disection as well as ample protection against ischemia and blood loss in the management of partial nephrectomy. The saline slush method is simple and requires material that is readily available in standard operating rooms. During the last 2 years. partial nephrectomy using the in situ hypothermia was performed with good results in 7 patients comprised 3 with renal stone and 4 with renal injury.
