Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) during kidney removal surgeries for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that involves tumor thrombus, aiming to reduce the need for blood transfusions.
- - Results from a multicenter analysis of 27 patients between 2012 and 2022 show that those who used IOCS had a significantly lower need for allogeneic blood transfusions and faced fewer complications.
- - The conclusion highlights that using salvaged blood during nephrectomy and thrombectomy procedures is safe and doesn't increase the risk of cancer recurrence or metastases.
