Early versus standard unclamping of the renal artery in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy: The Lebanese experience
Early unclamping in LPN is a feasible and safe technique that reduces WIT without compromising visibility during tumor resection or renorrhaphy. This strategy theoretically supports favorable functional and oncologic outcomes, though definitive evidence is limited by the lack of long-term follow-up. Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm these potential benefits.
