CANCUN, MEXICO (UroToday.com) - Coverage of the 25th Annual World Congress of Endourology and SWL - Cancun, Mexico - Thursday November 1, 2007 The group from Long Island Jewish presented their study looking at hemorrhage after laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and the angiographic findings in these patients. 6 of 335 patients (1.8%) had postoperative bleeding that required embolization. The angiographic findings demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm in 4 patients and extravasation in 2. Superselective embolization was successfully performed in all patients with resolution of the bleeding. The creatinine level remained stable following the procedure. Bleeding after a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy can be successfully managed by angioembolization, thus avoiding the need for surgical reexploration and the potential risk of nephrectomy.Session: Stones: MP09 - Laparoscopy: Kidney: Partial Nephrectomy I
