Purpose: The relative effectiveness of partial vs radical nephrectomy remains unclear in light
of the recent phase 3 European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer …

Background While partial nephrectomy (PN) is the recommended treatment for many small
renal masses, anatomically complex tumors necessitate a clear understanding of the …

Purpose: Underuse of partial vs radical nephrectomy for renal tumors was noted in recent
population based analyses. An explanation is the learning curve associated with …

Purpose: We determined practice patterns and perioperative outcomes of open and
minimally invasive partial nephrectomy in the United States since the introduction of a robot …

Background Emerging evidences indicate that inflammation plays a crucial role in
carcinogenesis and tumor progression. Inflammatory response biomarkers are recognized …

BACKGROUND: Partial nephrectomy (PN) may better protect against other-cause mortality
(OCM) when compared with radical nephrectomy (RN) in patients with localized renal cell …

The objective of this is to compare the surgical outcomes of partial nephrectomy (PN),
performed via three different approaches: robot-assisted (RAPN), laparoscopic (LPN), and …

PURPOSE: We compared outcomes in patients undergoing robotic vs open partial
nephrectomy stratified by moderately and highly complex tumor nephrometry scores …

Increased detection of the small renal mass over the last two decades has led to greater
utilization of partial nephrectomy techniques. Appreciation of the negative impact of chronic …

Objective To examine the association between high-risk patient status (age> 75 years or
Charlson comorbidity index count> 2) and postoperative complications in patients …
