Effect of Warm Ischemia Time During Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy on Early Postoperative Glomerular Filtration Rate

Abstract

A warm ischemia time of 40 minutes appears to be an appropriate cutoff, after which a significantly greater decrease in renal function occurs after laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. The preoperative glomerular filtration rate was the only independent predictor of an increased risk of renal insufficiency following laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
