## Abstract Twenty‐eight partial nephrectomies were performed on nine pigs with a simultaneous, coaxial CO~2~‐Nd:YAG laser at power settings of 20 W and 40 W, or with a steel scalpel. A vascular pedicle clamp was used without renal cooling. The time for hemostasis was 4.5 ± 3.2 min (mean ± SD) with
Partial nephrectomy is effective in the treatment of segmental renal disease but hemostasis remains a challenge. In this preliminary investigation the Nd:YAG laser was used alone or as an adjunct to the scalpel in partial nephrectomies to determine if hemostasis could be improved. A technique of 100
Twelve nephrectomies (NEs) were performed in 12 pigs (11-17 kg). Total NE was performed on the left side and partial NE on the right side (lower third of the kidney), thus two-thirds of the total kidney volume was removed. Renal function was studied with 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTP
