Abstract
This is a case report series of two patients undergoing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy using a novel laparoscopic instrument with increased degrees of freedom for more optimal needle control. The laparoscopic FlexdexTM articulating needle driver is the first ever documented partial nephrectomy using this instrument which should improved ergonomics during renorrhaphy and is a potential tool to increase laparoscopic comfort and ease with surgeons.
