Abstract
To describe a novel 'zero ischemia' technique for laparoscopic and robotic partial nephrectomy. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy has been performed in 15 patients without the need for warm ischemia by utilizing pharmalogically induced hypotension. This consecutive series includes complex tumors in patients with multiple comorbidities. Herein we describe our current practice, initial results, and several practical considerations associated with the application of this novel technique. Initial results with our 'zero ischemia' technique have been encouraging. Evaluation of long-term outcomes is ongoing.
