Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) has become widely used for the treatment of small kidney tumors. However, the procedure is associated with thermal ischemia of the kidney, which adversely affects the functional state of the operated organ. Research is underway into methods of partial nephrectomy that reduce or completely eliminate thermal ischemia, including the use of laser energy.
