Abstract

We developed a simple means to replicate kidney tumors in an animal and cadaver model that could be used to create pseudotumors of different sizes and locations for use in surgical training. Various substances were injected ex vivo into the parenchyma of porcine kidneys to identify an optimal pseudotumor model. Renal pseudotumors were created percutaneously and endoscopically using 8 live pigs and a human cadaver model. A renal vein pseudothrombus porcine model was also created by injecting pseudothrombus material into the renal vein after renal hilar clamping. Procedures performed on pseudotumors included robotic partial nephrectomy, percutaneous biopsy and robotic nephrectomy with renal vein thrombectomy. All specimens were analyzed after resection. The most ideal pseudotumor models were created from a mixture of gelatin, Metamucil and methylene blue (metagel) or from Kromopan hydrocolloid. We created 33 tumors 0.5 to 3.5 cm in size (mean 2.8). All tumors were a solid palpable mass on gross examination and ultrasonography revealed clearly visible hyperechoic lesions in 30 of 33. A renal vein tumor pseudothrombus model was successfully created in 3 pigs. We successfully performed robotic excision of pseudotumors, including par...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
