Abstract
Background
To investigate the impact of accidental tumor incision (ATI) during laparoscopic partial
nephrectomy (LPN) on the treatment outcome of LPN and to determine the predictive
factors for ATI.
Patients and Methods
Consecutive 156 patients with renal tumors suspicious of renal cell carcinoma cT1N0M0
undergoing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy at Yokohama City University between May
2003 and November 2014 were retrospectively evaluated. The analyzed clinical factors
included maximum tumor diameter, the R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry Score, occurrence of ATI
during surgery, and the postoperative pathological findings including the presence
of a pseudocapsule. Port site metastasis, tumor seeding, and local recurrence were
investigated by routine follow-up computed tomography during the postoperative period.
Results
Among enrolled 156 procedures, 12 (7.7%) showed ATI during surgery. Positive surgical
margin and local tumor recurrence were observed in 5 and 1 cases in the non-ATI group,
respectively, as compared with in no cases in the ATI group. Port site metastasis
or tumor seeding was not observed in either group. Multivariate analysis indicated
that pseudocapsule formation significantly correlated with ATI (P = .022) and that maximum tumor diameter was a possible predictor of ATI (P = .054).
Conclusion
To our knowledge, there are no previous studies to evaluate the impact of ATI, and
we here, for the first time, report that the risk of ATI is influenced by the presence
of a pseudocapsule, and, to some degree, by the tumor size. Moreover, we also show
that ATI during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is not necessarily associated with
poor outcomes such as local tumor recurrence.
