Purpose: To assess intrarenal arteries injuries after cranial pole nephrectomy in a pig model in order to compare these findings with those in humans. Materials and Methods: Polyester resin was injected through the ureter and the renal artery to make 3 dimensional casts of 61 pig kidneys. The cranial pole of the kidneys was sectioned at four different sites, before the solidification of the resin and the casts were examined for arterial damage. Results: Section performed through the hilus (15 kidneys): The cranial division of the renal artery was sectioned in two cases (13.33%), the ventral branch of the cranial division of the renal artery was sectioned in 13 cases (86.7%) and the dorsal branch of the cranial division of the renal artery was sectioned in 11 cases (73.34%). Section at 0.5 cm cranial to the hilus (16 kidneys): The cranial division of the renal artery was sectioned in 1 case (6.25%), the ventral branch of the cranial division of the renal artery was sectioned in 14 cases (87.5%) and the dorsal branch of the cranial division of the renal artery was sectioned in 13 cases (81.25%). Section at 1.0 cm cranial to the hilus (15 kidneys): The ventral branch of the cranial division of the renal artery was sectioned in 5 cases (33.33%) and the dorsal branch of the cranial division of the renal artery was injured in 5 cases (33.33%). Section at 1.5 cm cranial to the hilus (15 kidneys): No lesions were found in the main arteries, only in the interlobular branches. Conclusions: As previously demonstrated in humans, sections at 1.0 cm or more cranially to the hilus in pigs also showed a significant decrease in damage to the major intrarenal arteries. Therefore, as regards arterial damage, the pig kidney is useful model for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in the cranial (upper) pole. |
