Impact of ischaemia duration and clamping strategy in patients with solitary kidney undergoing partial nephrectomy

In patients with SK, on-clamp PN did not affect long-term renal function and was associated with a modestly lower need for peri-operative transfusion. The routine use of the off-clamp technique is therefore not supported by these findings, although its selective application may remain appropriate in cases with a high risk of renal function decline.
