Abstract

The applicability of two renal preservation systems in extracorporeal renal surgery was studied. Both systems provide dependable maintenance of renal viability and allow significant improvements in intraoperative exposure, blood loss and radiologic control. Gravity perfusion of hyperosmolar solution is an effective means of achieving hypothermic conditions for short extracorporeal surgical intervals; longer intervals (24 hr) are safely obtained with pulsatile perfusion of cryoprecipitated plasma.
