Supplementary Table 2A.

Suggested techniques and strategies from round 2

Prior to tumor resection During tumor resection During renorrhaphy
  1. Clamping artery + vein vs. artery alone

  2. Discontinuation of anti-platelet agents

  3. Renal mobilization and hilar dissection

  4. Selective arterial clamping

  5. Adequate pneumoperitoneum

  6. Prior suture preparation

Newly suggested:
  • Robotic – ensure trocars/tract visible if instrument change needed

  • Having gelatin based sealant ready

  • aving Vloc ready

  1. Enucleation

  2. Early clipping of vessels

  3. Reducing resection margin to tumor (staying close to tumor)

  4. Increasing pneumoperitoneum

  5. Assistant to apply pressure

  6. Unclamping vein if bleeding

Modification to existing:
  • Apply pressure to bleeding sites

  1. Barbed stitch/Vloc

  2. Gelatin thrombin agents (Floseal, Surgiflo)

  3. Placing clips over knot tying

  4. Re-approximation of Gerota’s

  5. Placement of a drain

  6. Early unclamping and suture ligate arterial bleeders

Newly suggested: N/A

Bold indicates agreement/approval of the principle for next round.
