  ABSTRACT: It is necessary to clamp the renal artery for some time in renal surgery to preserve the organ. Not only the renal parenchyma but also the wall of the clamped renal artery may be damaged due to known ischaemic-reperfusion causes. Regional venous renal hypothermia induced by intracellular solutions (Sacks II, Euro-Collins) could provide protection against damage of the vessel wall caused by reperfusion or clamping in our experiments, in cases of clamping for 30 minutes, probably because it also ensured the cooling of the surface of the vessel wall. Similar vasoprotective effect could be achieved by systematic antioxidant treatment (MTDQ-DS) and regional renal hypothermia given in combination. Harmful effects of 45-minute clamping could be best avoided by applying antioxidant treatment alone. While there were no significant morphological changes in the renal arteries the persistent endothelial damage may trigger further complications like renal ischaemic condition.

  ABSTRACT: Surgical suture materials play an important role in the safe performance of surgical interventions. In our experiments we made an attempt to investigate what microcirculatory changes result from pulling the thread through the wall of the duodenum in Lembert stitches by including 3 kinds of absorbable and non-absorbable suture materials each (Catgut, Dexon, PDS, Silk, Ethibond, Ethilon). Research is still in the pre-experimental stage. In the long run, we hope to enrich the description of these suture materials by some new details. It could help prevent suture insufficiency, facilitate wound healing and thus, improved surgical safety.

  ABSTRACT: It has been well known that reperfusion following ischaemia may cause functional and structural damage to not only the organ involved but also the blood vessels supplying that organ. As in organ-sparing renal surgery it is inevitable to clamp the renal artery for some time, it is expected that reperfusion, following the removing of clamping, causes structural changes in the vessel wall which may result in a decrease in arterial function. In our model experiments on animals, the left renal arteries were atraumatically clamped for 30, 45 and 60 minutes. Simultaneously with clamping, perfusion regional renal venous cooling was applied to some of the animals, together with nephrotomy. In some cases cooling was performed in combination with antioxidant treatment. On the 3rd postoperative day renal arteries from both sides were removed, the right, intact ones serving as control. Noradrenaline dose effect curves characterizing vessel contractility were determined to demonstrate functional changes. It was established that cooling the renal artery for only 30 minutes was enough to rule out the damage due to ischaemia-reperfusion. If clamping lasted for 45 minutes, venous cooling of the kidney in combination with antioxidant treatment was necessary to spare arterial function. Clamping for 60 minutes resulted in irreversible/permanent decrease in contractility even if hypothermia and antioxidant treatment were given simultaneously.
