Correlation of preoperative imaging characteristics with donor outcomes and operative difficulty in laparoscopic donor nephrectomy.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to understand the relationship of preoperative measurements and risk factors on operative time and outcomes of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Two hundred forty-two kidney donors between 2010 and 2017 were identified. Patients' demographic, anthropomorphic, and operative characteristics were abstracted from the electronic medical record. Glomerular filtration rates (GFR) were documented before surgery, within 24 hours, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. Standard radiological measures and kidney volumes, and subcutaneous and perinephric fat thicknesses were assessed by three radiologists. Data were analyzed using standard statistical measures. There was significant correlation between cranio-caudal and latero-lateral diameters (P < .0001) and kidney volume. The left kidney was transplanted in 92.6% of cases and the larger kidney in 69.2%. Kidney choice (smaller vs. larger) had no statistically significant impact on the rate of change of donor kidney function over time adjusting for age, sex and race (P = .61). Perinephric fat thickness (+4.08 minutes) and surgery after 2011 were significantly correlated with operative time (P ? .01). In conclusion, cranio-caudal diameters can be used as a surrogate measure for volume in the majority of donors. Size may not be a decisive factor for long-term donor kidney function. Perinephric fat around the donor kidney should be reported to facilitate operative planning.

Project description:BackgroundA reliable system for grading operative difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy would standardise description of findings and reporting of outcomes. The aim of this study was to validate a difficulty grading system (Nassar scale), testing its applicability and consistency in two large prospective datasets.MethodsPatient and disease-related variables and 30-day outcomes were identified in two prospective cholecystectomy databases: the multi-centre prospective cohort of 8820 patients from the recent CholeS Study and the single-surgeon series containing 4089 patients. Operative data and patient outcomes were correlated with Nassar operative difficultly scale, using Kendall's tau for dichotomous variables, or Jonckheere-Terpstra tests for continuous variables. A ROC curve analysis was performed, to quantify the predictive accuracy of the scale for each outcome, with continuous outcomes dichotomised, prior to analysis.ResultsA higher operative difficulty grade was consistently associated with worse outcomes for the patients in both the reference and CholeS cohorts. The median length of stay increased from 0 to 4 days, and the 30-day complication rate from 7.6 to 24.4% as the difficulty grade increased from 1 to 4/5 (both p?<?0.001). In the CholeS cohort, a higher difficulty grade was found to be most strongly associated with conversion to open and 30-day mortality (AUROC?=?0.903, 0.822, respectively). On multivariable analysis, the Nassar operative difficultly scale was found to be a significant independent predictor of operative duration, conversion to open surgery, 30-day complications and 30-day reintervention (all p?<?0.001).ConclusionWe have shown that an operative difficulty scale can standardise the description of operative findings by multiple grades of surgeons to facilitate audit, training assessment and research. It provides a tool for reporting operative findings, disease severity and technical difficulty and can be utilised in future research to reliably compare outcomes according to case mix and intra-operative difficulty.

Project description:Study objectiveTo assess whether different intensities of intra-abdominal pressure and deep neuromuscular blockade influence the risk of intra-operative surgical complications during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy.DesignA pooled analysis of ten previously performed prospective randomized controlled trials.SettingLaparoscopic donor nephrectomy performed in four academic hospitals in the Netherlands: Radboudumc, Leiden UMC, Erasmus MC Rotterdam, and Amsterdam UMC.PatientsFive hundred fifty-six patients undergoing a transperitoneal, fully laparoscopic donor nephrectomy enrolled in ten prospective, randomized controlled trials conducted in the Netherlands from 2001 to 2017.InterventionsModerate (tetanic count of four > 1) versus deep (post-tetanic count 1-5) neuromuscular blockade and standard (≥10 mmHg) versus low (<10 mmHg) intra-abdominal pressure.MeasurementsThe primary endpoint is the number of intra-operative surgical complications defined as any deviation from the ideal intra-operative course occurring between skin incision and closure with five severity grades, according to ClassIntra. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of intra- and postoperative complications.Main resultsIn 53/556 (9.5%) patients, an intra-operative complication with ClassIntra grade ≥ 2 occurred. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed standard intra-abdominal pressure (OR 0.318, 95% CI 0.118-0.862; p = 0.024) as a predictor of less intra-operative complications and moderate neuromuscular blockade (OR 3.518, 95% CI 1.244-9.948; p = 0.018) as a predictor of more intra-operative complications. Postoperative complications occurred in 31/556 (6.8%), without significant predictors in multiple logistic regression analyses.ConclusionsOur data indicate that the use of deep neuromuscular blockade could increase safety during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Future randomized clinical trials should be performed to confirm this and to pursue whether it also applies to other types of laparoscopic surgery.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov LEOPARD-2 (NCT02146417), LEOPARD-3 trial (NCT02602964), and RELAX-1 study (NCT02838134), Klop et al.

Project description:We compared gene expression profiles from six donor kidneys prior to surgical manipulation to six kidneys removed after laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) and several hours of CO2 pneumoperitoneum. Biopsies were obtained from renal cortex and hybridized to Affymetrix HG-U133A GeneChips. For control kidneys we identified 1380 genes present on all 6 samples that had a signal intensity greater than 1000. Functional classification of these revealed genes for cellular signaling (201; 15%), regulation of transcription (156; 11%), cellular transport (144; 10%) and cellular metabolism (111; 8%). A class comparison between the controls and LDN kidneys yielded 865 differentially expressed genes. Functional classification of the 502 genes differentially up-regulated in LDN kidneys identified associations with apoptosis, cell adhesion, cell signaling, regulation of cell growth/proliferation, immune/inflammation, ischemia/stress response and proteolysis/peptidolysis. These data demonstrate an altered renal transcriptome induced by several hours of CO2 pneumoperitoneum and laparoscopic surgery characterized by up-regulation of ischemia and injury associated genes. Keywords: Comparative Expression Twelve healthy adult kidney donors signed a consent form, and were approved for donation according to the usual evaluation and practice of the Cleveland Clinic Renal Transplant Program. To avoid potentially significant differences in gene expression based on race and/or ethnicity, only white recipients were selected. The patients were divided into two groups; six controls from open donor nephrectomy and six from LDN. Demographic information included age, gender, race, HLA type, and renal function data including serum creatinine (mg/dL), GFR measured by iothalamate clearance (cc/min.), and urine protein excretion (mg/24 hr). Each patient was given general anesthesia and had a diuresis induced with saline, mannitol, and furosemide. The controls had an extraperitoneal flank incision made, and with only minimal manipulation of the kidney two subcapsular core renal biopsies were obtained using a 15-gauge spring-loaded needle. For the LDN cases two core renal biopsies were obtained using the same needles after the kidneys underwent 2 to 3 hours of C02 pneumoperitoneum. Study biopsies went immediately into 1.5 mL of RNALater (Ambion, Austin, TX), and were stored at –80 0C until they were processed. Biopsy specimens were homogenized in 1 mL of Trizol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA); total RNA was purified using an RNeasy column (Qiagen, Valencia, CA); and quality confirmed with an Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer (Palo Alto, CA). Standard Affymetrix GeneChip (Santa Clara, CA) protocols were used, and labelled samples were hybridized to HG-U133A GeneChip arrays containing 22,283 probe sets representing over 14,500 human genes. Data was analyzed using Signal intensities generated using GeneChip Operating System version 1.0 and were subsequently analysed by Robust Multichip Average Express (RMA Express) using all Affymetrix .CEL files as a training set. BRB ArrayTools (http://linus.nci.nih.gov/BRB-ArrayTools.html) was used to perform class comparisons (significance level of p < 0.005), and create dendrograms. We used NetAffyx (www.affymetrix.com) to annotate the differentially expressed genes according to biological function based on the Gene Ontology database. A Heatmap was created using Cluster and TreeView software. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.
