Abstract

Temporary occlusion of the renal artery may be necessary for the extensive kidney operation. Performance of kidney operation requires an understanding of renal responses to warm ischemia and available methods of protecting the kidney while arterial occlusion. To minimize the loss of kidney function cooling of the organ is mandatory. The cooling can be accomplished either by perfusion with cold solution or by in situ surface cooling During the last 41 months, we performed renal surgery using hypothermia technique with good results in l5 patients.
