Novel High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Clamp—Potential Adjunct for Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy

Abstract

In this preliminary porcine evaluation, a novel HIFU clamp induced hemostasis and created an ablation plane in the kidney. This technology could serve as a useful adjunct to laparoscopic PN in the future and potentially obviate the need for renal hilar clamping.
