Abstract

A modified parenchyma-saving pole-resection technique is described. It is regarded as essential that the incision line of the polar wedge to be resected should not be farther medial than 10 to 20 mm from the longitudinal axis of the kidney, so as to prevent perihilar scarring. By partial resection of a narrow parenchymal strip together with the distended calyx complete morphological and functional reconstruction can be achieved. The results of 61 pole resections performed over a 5-year period have been found superior to those of other methods generally employed.
