Partial nephrectomy has been the procedure of choice for patients with poor renal function, tumors in solitary kidneys or bilateral renal tumors. The efficacy of partial nephrectomy in regard to ...

Ischemia–reperfusion injury caused by vascular clamping contributes to the decline in glomerular filtration rate following partial nephrectomy. Ischemia is the main modifiable factor that determines ...

PN and RFA offer similar survival for cT1a RCC tumors ≤2 cm, but PN is superior for larger tumors. RFA may be considered for elderly patients with comorbidities, especially for tumors ≤2 cm. PN ...

In patients with clinical stage 1 (cT1) renal masses, many physicians opt for nephron-sparing surgery, such as partial nephrectomy (PN) versus radical nephrectomy (RN). Both procedures have been shown ...

Absolute indications include circumstances in which RN would render the patient anephric, with a consequent immediate need for renal replacement therapy. Patients with an anatomically or functionally ...
