Experience of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy using a kidney grasper in selective cases.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of regional cramp in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, we performed partial nephrectomy using a kidney grasper that enabled the application of ischemia to a limited region of the kidney.

Materials And Methods: The subjects were 5 renal cell carcinoma patients. The mean tumor diameter was 15 mm.
