Collagen-Based Hydrogel Patch Promotes Renal Wound Repair

Key Points

• To evaluate the effectiveness of a collagen-based hydrogel patch in promoting renal wound repair following partial nephrectomy.
• Conducted a clinical trial involving patients undergoing partial nephrectomy for renal cancer.
• Administered collagen-based hydrogel patches at the site of surgery.
• Measured outcomes including warm ischemia time and renal parenchyma function post-operation.
• Collagen-based patch significantly reduced warm ischemia time.
• Enhanced preservation of renal parenchyma functionality observed after treatment.
