Predictive Factors for Postoperative Decline in Renal Functions Following Partial Nephrectomy: Preliminary Results
Journal Title: Journal of Urological Surgery - Year 2020, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: We aimed to determine the risk factors related to patient, tumor characteristics and surgery that may be associated with decline in renal function during follow-up after partial nephrectomy (PN). Materials and Methods: Sixty-one patients who underwent PN due to localized stage Ia renal cell carcinoma between January 2010 and October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics of the patients, clinical and pathological data, information about surgical techniques, preoperative score to predict postoperative mortality (POSPOM), Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity index (ACCI), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score, American Society of Anesthesiologists’ score, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and eGFR levels during postoperative follow-up were recorded. Results: Twelve (19.7%) patients experienced a decline in eGFR (<60 mL/min/1.73 m2) at the postoperative follow-up of median 30 months. Older age, higher Body Mass index, presence of hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, tumor in the hilar region, higher scores of POSPOM, ACCI, RENAL and PADUA, lower preoperative eGFR, cold ischemia technique, total arterial clamping technique, longer warm ischemia time, longer cold ischemia time and lower preserved renal parenchymal volume (RPV) were found to be associated with both short- and long-term decline in eGFR (<60 mL/ min/1.73 m2). Conclusion: Although lower percentage of preserved RPV is a significant predictor of the postoperative deterioration of renal function, our results have shown that preoperative POSPOM score, ACCI and eGFR levels are just as important as surgical factors.

An Unusual Cause of Chronic Scrotal Pain Coexisting with Hydrocele: Isolated Tuberculous Epididymitis
Isolated tuberculous epididymitis (ITE) is a rare condition affecting only the epididymis without clinical evidence of renal involvement. One of the causes of chronic scrotal pain can be ITE, which is usually only diagno...
Should the Double-J Stent Be Removed Endoscopically after a Ureteroscopic Stone Surgery?
Objective: Ureterorenoscopic stone surgery (USS) is the primary method of ureteral stone treatment. Double-J (JJ) stenting is an integral part of a USS, and most urologists prefer to use it without an extraction string....
Comparison of Standard Open Wound Care and Vacuum-assisted Closure Therapy in Fournier’s Gangrene
Objective: Management of Fournier’s gangrene (FG) includes large wound debridement, broad-spectrum antibiotic, wound care and re-debridement if necessary. The aim of our study was to compare standard open wound care and...
Predictive Value of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Measured Prior to Prostate Biopsy
Objective: We planned to investigate the value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in predicting prostate cancer (PCa). Materials and Methods: We enrolled 302 male patients who...
