Risk Assessment for Complications of Partial Nephrectomy – Comparative Study between Retroperitoneoscopic Approach and Open Surgery
2017
Introduction. Partial nephrectomy represent the standard of care for small renal tumor. Laproscopic approach tends to replace open surgery due to similar oncologic results, but with better eastethic outcomes and earlier socio-professional reintegration. Material and methods. Between January 2010 and February 2017, 55 patients (p) underwent partial nephrectomy at our center for clinically localized renal tumor, 21p with LPN by retroperitoneal approach and 34p with OPN. All patients had a normal contralateral kidney. The selection of patients for nephron-sparing surgery was based on preoperative CT scan, location of the tumor, the individual general health status of the patient and individual…
Pringle maneuver during open partial nephrectomy for renal tumors
2017
Introduction. Sparing kidney tissue is important because studies show that patients who have their entire kidney removed are more likely to suffer from chronic kidney disease after surgery than patients who received a kidney-sparing partial nephrectomy. The aim of study is to show the effectives of Pringle maneuver for clamping renal pedicle in order to minimize warm ischemia during open partial nephrectomy. Material and method. We retrospectively analyzed 34 patients diagnosed with cT1 renal tumors between 2012 and 2016 and underwent open partial nephrectomy in Sibiu Urology Department. During the surgery we perform clamping of renal pedicle with Satinsky clamp or with the Pringle maneuver…
A Single-Center (Sibiu, Romania), Retrospective Study (March–November 2020) of COVID-19 Clinical and Epidemiological Features in Children
2021
The aim of this study was to describe and analyze epidemiological and clinical features of children screened for COVID-19 at Sibiu Pediatric Clinical Hospital during the first 9 months (March–November) of coronavirus disease pandemic in Romania. A total of 203 pediatric patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 were included in the study. The median age of the patients was 121 (IQR 18–181) months and 52.22% had mild clinical type with pneumonia, 35.47% were moderate cases, 3.94% severe cases, 0.99% critically ill cases and 7.39% were asymptomatic. The most common symptoms were fever (n = 130, 64.03%), nasal congestion (n = 138, 67.98%), cough (n = 128, 63.05%) followed by sore throat …
