Volume and function of the operated kidney after nephron-sparing surgery for unilateral renal tumor.

Aim: We sought to assess the magnitude of functional decline and the natural history of the operated kidney residual function after zero-ischemia nephron-sparing surgery (Z-NSS) in children with unilateral renal tumor (URT).

Patients And Methods: 50 children were treated for URT at our surgical unit between 1992 and 2016. Of these 12 who underwent Z-NSS were available for the current analysis.

Renal function up to the 5th decade of life after nephrectomy in childhood: A literature review.

The aim of the present study was to find out if in children ablation of 50% of renal mass may be associated with a progressive renal damage (Brenner's hypothesis). We collected 1035 adult or adolescent survivors who underwent nephrectomy for unilateral oncological or non-oncological causes during childhood. Stratification of all survivors for age revealed that the number of subjects with blood hypertension and/or renal dysfunction (glomerular filtration rate < 90 mL/min per 1.

Outcome After Surgical Treatment of Paraclinoid Carotid Aneurysms.

Surgery on paraclinoid carotid aneurysms is technically demanding and entails considerable risks, especially to visual function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and visual outcome after surgery in 66 patients with paraclinoid carotid aneurysms (30 ruptured and 36 unruptured) treated between 1990 and 2014. Thirty-six aneurysms were of standard size, and 30 were large (16-20 mm) or giant (>20 mm); the Barami classification was used in every case.

Renal Function Recovery after Nephrectomy or Nephron-Sparing Surgery in Children with Unilateral Renal Tumor.

 Children with unilateral renal tumor (URT) and preoperative renal dysfunction (PRD) may benefit from nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). To test this hypothesis, we studied the outcome of baseline renal function after nephrectomy or NSS among children with URT.  Retrospective records review of children with URT who underwent nephrectomy (25 children) or NSS (11 children) at our institution.
