Article Synopsis
- Multifocal partial nephrectomy (MPN) is crucial for removing multiple kidney masses, but its effects on kidney function over time are not well understood.* -
- A study involving 1,307 partial nephrectomies compared the changes in kidney function (measured by glomerular filtration rate) between MPN and standard partial nephrectomy (SPN) across different time points after surgery.* -
- Results showed that MPN leads to a greater initial decline in kidney function within the first year compared to SPN, but long-term kidney function outcomes were found to be similar for both procedures after 24 months.*
Rare retroperitoneal recurrence of clear cell renal cell carcinoma highlights the risk of tumor violation during surgery. A 61-year-old female with recurrent RCC in the retroperitoneum is presented six years after partial nephrectomy. Initial surveillance CT revealed a renal cyst and subsequent imaging confirmed clear cell RCC.
