In the researchers' words
Intended to minimize ischemia during robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) procedures "by any means possible". Before starting enucleation, the boundaries of the tumor are marked during SL-ocRPN surgery cautery. Once the tumor is removed, the resection bed is cauterized by dispensing monopolar energy with "quasi-contact" mode, and hemostasis is progressively improved.
