(A) The renal vein and artery are secured en bloc by umbilical tape. The tape runs on the outside of a trocar. Warm ischaemia time is induced by pulling on the vascular loop (Rumel tourniquet). The tube is secured with a clip. (B) Repair of the interstitial tissue (medulla) using a running suture. This suture is secured on both sides with a resorbable clip (LAPRA-TY II). (C) Renal parenchymal repair using a running suture. The distal end is secured by a non resorbable clip (Hem-o-lok). Underneath the suture a bolster (Tapotamp) is placed. (D) Renal parenchymal repair is completed. The running suture is tightened and secured by non-resorbable clips (Hem-o-lok).
