    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED IN A JOURNAL ARTICLE (LAPAROSCOPIC PARTIAL NEPHRECTOMY: CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUE AND OUTCOMES) THAT THE PATIENT UNDERWENT A LAPAROSCOPIC PARTIAL NEPHRECTOMY. IN THE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE, THE COLLECTING SYSTEM IS SUTURE REPAIRED WITH A RUNNING SUTURE ON NEEDLE. RENAL PARENCHYMAL REPAIR IS PERFORMED WITH 1-0 POLYGLACTIN ON A GS-25 NEEDLE. THREE TO 5 INTERRUPTED SUTURES ARE PLACED OVER A PRE-PREPARED ABSORBABLE HEMOSTAT BOLSTER THAT HAS BEEN POSITIONED OVER THE CUT SURFACE OF THE KIDNEY. FLOSEAL IS APPLIED TO THE CUT RENAL PARENCHYMAL SURFACE UNDERNEATH THE BOLSTER. ANOTHER HEM-O-LOK CLIP IS APPLIED TO THE SUTURE FLUSH WITH THE OPPOSITE RENAL SURFACE, COMPRESSING THE KIDNEY. THE SUTURE IS THEN TIGHTLY TIED ACROSS THE BOLSTER, MAINTAINING ADEQUATE PARENCHYMAL COMPRESSION. POSTOPERATIVELY, THE PATIENT MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED BLEEDING, RENAL INSUFFICIENCY, AND INFECTION. TREATMENT OF THE EVENT WAS NOT REPORTED. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN REQUESTED.
