Renal Function after Nephron - Sparing Surgery

The incidence of kidney cancer has been rising over the last two decades, especially in cases where the disease is localized and small in size (<4 cm). This is mainly due to the widespread use of routine abdominal imaging such as ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. As a result, the utilization of partial nephrectomy (PN) was increased for preserving the renal p...

Nephron-sparing surgery and renal cell carcinoma.

Partial nephrectomy is more and more performed for patients with a single small kidney cancer, not only in an imperative, but more and more often in an elective situation in the presence of a normal contralateral kidney. Kidney cancer is often detected incidentally and it is difficult to distinguish on the imaging between a small benign or malignant solid kidney tumor. Although the complication...

Nephron-sparing surgery for renal tumors.

PURPOSE To report National Cancer Institute (NCI) experience in managing various benign and malignant renal tumors with nephron sparing surgery (NSS), and to assess its safety and feasibility. PATIENTS AND METHODS Literature review for NSS, and reviewing of the patients records who underwent NSS between the period from January-2000 to December-2009 at NCI-Cairo University was done. Tumor rela...

Nephrectomy or nephron-sparing surgery – how to decide?

AIM OF THE STUDY Radical nephrectomy in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains the gold standard, but nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) is still increasing in importance. The main goal of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound and multi-detector computed tomography in RCC staging and its influence on deciding about further patient treatment. MATERIAL AND METH...
