Self-retaining barbed suture for parenchymal repair during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy; initial clinical experience.

Abstract

The use of SRBS for parenchymal repair during LPN in humans is safe and is associated with a significant reduction in warm ischaemia time. SRBS use during LPN may also reduce rates of clinically significant bleeding. Prospective, larger studies to confirm the value of SRBS use in minimally invasive partial nephrectomy are warranted.
