Doppler localisation of intrarenal vessels: an experimental study.

The use of the Doppler probe to localise the intrarenal vessels was assessed in 15 dogs. This prevented the need for renal artery clamping and radial nephrotomies were placed in silent areas on the renal surface. Functional studies were performed post-operatively at 48 h and 1 month, using creatinine clearance, microfil casts and cast angiography. There was no significant loss of function when three or six radial nephrotomies were made and the Doppler accurately localised sites for nephrotomy between the intrarenal arteries and veins which were undamaged.

Doppler and B-mode ultrasound for avascular nephrotomy.

Doppler sonography for intraoperative localization of the intrarenal arteries combined with B-scan sonography for intraoperative visualization of stones allows complete stone removal via small radial nephrotomies for which clamping of the renal artery is no longer necessary. Since September 1980 we used this technique on 35 patients with staghorn or recurrent calculi. The main advantages of this technique are exact and quick stone localization, minimal loss of renal function owing to preservation of the intrarenal vascular system, and no need for renal ischemia and cooling.

Doppler sonography and B-scanning in renal surgery.

The combination of intraoperative localization of intrarenal arteries and stones by Doppler and B-scan sonography allows the performance of multiple radial avascular nephrotomies and makes renal stone surgery possible without clamping and cooling.
