The Unidirectional Barbed Suture for Renorrhaphy During Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy: Stanford Experience

Abstract

The use of V-Loc sutures for renorrhaphy during LPN is safe and feasible and, in our series, significantly reduces WIT. Further studies are needed to corroborate these findings, but these results indicate a promising development in reducing WIT during minimally invasive partial nephrectomy.
