The most common renal cancer is renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which arises from the renal
parenchyma. The global incidence of RCC has increased over the past two decades by 2 …

CONTEXT: The increasing incidence of localised renal cell carcinoma (RCC) over the last 3
decades and controversy over mortality rates have prompted reassessment of current …

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: The European Association of Urology Guideline Group for
renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has prepared these guidelines to help clinicians assess the …

Purpose: The clinical significance of a positive surgical margin after partial nephrectomy
remains controversial. The association between positive margin and risk of disease …

Objective To compare the perioperative outcomes of robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) with
laparoscopic PN (LPN) performed for small renal masses (SRM s), in a large multi …

CONTEXT: Little is known on the natural history of positive surgical margins (PSMs) in
partial nephrectomy (PN). Accumulating data suggest that secondary nephrectomy might not …

Background Partial nephrectomy (PN) is generally favored for cT1 tumors over radical
nephrectomy (RN) when technically feasible. However, it can be unclear whether the …

Purpose: The excision of the renal tumor with a substantial margin of healthy parenchyma is
considered the gold standard technique for partial nephrectomy. However, simple …

CONTEXT: An increasing number of small renal masses (SRMs) with heterogeneous
histology and clinical behaviour are being detected with modern radiologic imaging …

Background: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is increasingly being used for the
surgical management of renal masses. The comparison of RAPN with open partial …
