The pair of vessels going to upper moiety is visualised and is divided using harmonic scalpel. These further releases any form of anchoring of the tissue and a clear plane of cleavage is seen between the upper and lower moiety. This will help to further dissect between the two and remove the upper moiety.

Video Transcript
Now we are dividing the upper moiety vessels. The– we are using the harmonic scalpel over here. Again, it cannot be stressed more than enough that this is very important step and you have to spare the renal vein, which is lying underneath, and you cannot afford to injure the vessel.
So now the vessel has gone. Once the vessel is divided, the renal– main renal pedicle is going to fall further down and away from your area of dissection. And you will be able to safely excise it. We’ll continue the use of harmonic scalpel to divide between the parenchyma.
