Laparoscopic Off-Clamp Partial Nephrectomy for Complex RENAL Nephrometry Score Tumours
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Urology & Nephrology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Partial nephrectomy remains the gold standard approach for patients with localised renal tumours. However it comes with its own peri-operative challenges, especially when dealing with tumours in difficult locations. Several systems have been used in an attempt to standardise categorisation of tumours, of which the RENAL nephrometry scoring system has been the most widely utilised.
