(Partial) Nephrectomy - Procedural ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D and THUNDERBEAT™ device Benefits
Advantages of using ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device in (Partial) Nephrectomy:
- Clear 3D visualization of the artery posterior to the vein for reduced risk of overlooking bleeders
- ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device depth perception reduces the risk of leaving tumor a behind
- Suturing becomes more intuitive, with the depth perception from the ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device, potentially leading to reduced ischemia time
Advantages of using THUNDERBEAT™ device in (Partial) Nephrectomy:
- Precise dissection capability and grasping force helps to identify and mobilize the kidney
- The THUNDERBEAT™ device provides prompt sealing and cutting of new vessels linked to renal cancer
- The THUNDERBEAT™ device’s effective Seal & Cut allows for having one hand free for usage in conduction with clips or a suction
Mobilization and Freeing of the Kidney
The ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device vision facilitates identification of the ureter, gonadel vein, etc. It helps to find the right
plane allowing mobilization of the kidney without injuring surrounding organs, such as the liver, the bowel, and the spleen. For mobilization, the THUNDERBEAT™ device grasps and fine dissects well. It enables efficient freeing of the kidney from surrounding tissue.
Hilum
The combination of depth perception and articulation in the ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device allows for a better visualization of the artery posterior to the vein. The risk of overlooking bleeders is reduced, due to the ability to look at the hilum from the posterior aspect.
The THUNDERBEAT™ device effectively cuts and seals at once while one hand of the surgeon is free.
Partial Nephrectomy
An important aim in partial nephrectomy is sparing as much healthy tissue as possible. In this respect, the surgeon needs to precisely locate the tumor. Intraoperative ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device imaging provides the surgeons with a realistic view and helps to compensate for the challenge of possible differences between the preoperative anatomical situations and the intraoperative situation.
Tumor Growth
The ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device visualization also supports in the excision phase of the procedure. As the depth perception of the ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device helps to identify the point of entry and the cutting angle more precisely, the risk of leaving tumor behind is reduced.
The THUNDERBEAT™ device can be used as an effective grasping instrument. At the same time, a large vessel due to vascularization of renal cancer morphology, can be sealed by the THUNDERBEAT™ device promptly. There is no
need of an additional sealing device.
Suturing
Similar to the advantages in prostatectomy, the ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device also facilitates suturing in partial nephrectomy, which is crucial in order to reduce ischemia time. By having better perception of where to stitch and grasp the needle, the result is time saved and less bleeding, which can lead to a shorter ischemia time.
