Renal angiomyolipoma is not a malignant tumor, and it is therefore to be treated only conservatively. The difficulty in distinguishing it from carcinoma nearly always leads to total nephrectomy. The study of the selective renal arteriogram enables preoperative diagnosis of angiomyolipoma even when not associated with tuberous sclerosis, and a partial nephrectomy. The arteriographic signs are: aneurysmatic images of the main vessels the neoplastic vessels with a helicoid course or arranged as bunche of grapes, their frequent anastomoses, the slowness of bloodflow in the angiomatous vessels and finally the mosaic picture during the nephrographic phase.

Objectives: To assess the feasibility of trial recruitment and confirm that retroperitoneal robotic partial nephrectomy (RRPN) has the same oncological efficacy as transperitoneal robotic partial nephrectomy (TRPN), with time advantages and less peri-operative morbidity, in a randomised controlled trial (RCT).
Patients And Methods: The study was designed as a single-centre, open-label, feasibility RCT. Patients with suspected localised renal cell carcinoma referred for robotic partial nephrectomy were randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive either TRPN or RRPN.

Objectives: To evaluate the concordance between the intraoperative visual assessment of the tumor bed for completeness of resection following partial nephrectomy and the permanent section analysis of biopsies taken from the tumor bed.
Methods: Patients undergoing partial nephrectomy at 2 university hospitals were prospectively enrolled. R.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of two regional anesthesia methods, transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and erector spinae plane (ESP) block, for intraoperative and postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy.
Methods: Fifty patients aged 18-80 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification I-II scheduled for elective laparoscopic nephrectomy were included after ethical approval and informed consent. Patients were randomly assigned to either Group TAP (receiving TAP block) or Group ESP (receiving ESP block).

Background: Bilateral synchronous renal masses (BSRMs) are a rare finding, and the optimal treatment strategy remains undetermined. This study depicts the management of BSRM at eight European high-volume centers.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of prospective institutional databases collecting all patients presenting with clinical T1-2 N0 M0 BSRMs between 1993 and 2020 at 8 tertiary referral high-volume centers for renal cancer treatment in Europe.
