Abstract
Partial nephrectomy requires control of renal blood flow by using renal vessels clamping. Multiple clamping techniques are available. The clamping procedure can be parenchymal or vascular, involving enbloc arterial and veinous clamping or arterial onlone, being continuous or intermittent, associated or not with renal cooling. The purpose of this present review was to analyze technical aspects of clamping methods during partial nephrectomy and their functional consequences in terms of blood loss, surgical margins status and changes in renal function.
