Metastatic tumors are the most common malignancies of the kidney. We report a rare case of isolated metastatic ocular melanoma to the kidney occurring 20 years after diagnosis. A 71-year-old man presented with gross hematuria. He had undergone left enucleation 20 years previously for ocular melanoma and had not required adjuvant therapy. A right upper pole mass was identified on computed tomography and was excised laparoscopically. Pathologic examination revealed metastatic melanoma. Metastatic melanoma to the kidney is rare. A high index of suspicion must be maintained in any patient with a renal mass and a history of a nonrenal malignancy.
Hemostasis remains the major challenge in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). The TissueLink Floating Ball (TissueLink Medical, Inc., Dover, NH), a high-density monopolar saline-cooled radiofrequency device, is an effective coagulation and dissection device to aid in LPN. Our porcine laboratory model and human clinical experience have shown the device capable of deep renal parenchymal hemostasis without the need for hilar vascular occlusion. We review the excisional technique and initial clinical results, as well as device function, setup, and clinical literature. We find the TissueLink capable of avoiding warm ischemia for excision of selected endophytic masses and, in combination with other techniques, a valuable adjunct for even deeper lesions.
