Objective: To investigate the clinical significance of R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score for renal neoplasms in patients undergoing nephron sparing surgery.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of clinical data of 110 patients with renal neoplasms undergoing nephron sparing surgery, who were admitted to Peking University First Hospital from January 2010 to January 2012. The operation approaches, perioperative variables and perioperative complications as well as R.E.N.A.L. scores were compared.

Results: The R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score was significantly associated with the operation approach (P<0.001), while there was no significant association between the scoring system and the occurrence of complications (P<0.611). Meanwhile, it was associated with ischemia time (P<0.023) and percentage change in the creatinine level (P<0.025). Low complexity tumors had significantly shorter ischemia time and low percentage change in the creatinine level than high complexity tumors (P<0.008, P<0.010). Fleiss' generalized kappa was 0.52 to 0.89 for the R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry components.

Conclusion: The R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score is a comprehensive assessment tool for delineating renal tumor anatomy. The reproducibility of R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry scores is substantial, but further research is required to evaluate its performance in predicting operative outcomes more accurately.

Objective: Laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (NSS) can be performed by mainly 2 methods, offclamp or on-clamp. Continuous bleeding during the off-clamp method may impair the clear visualization of the border between the tumor and parenchyma, even though it is done safely in experienced hands. Therefore, some surgical modifications may be needed during mass excision and renorraphy.

Purpose: Comprehension of the anatomical characteristics of pediatric kidney tumors is crucial for making surgical decisions. Previous kidney tumor nephrometry systems failed to incorporate two significant factors: tumor thrombus and multifocality. We develop a refined nephrometry system based on a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics exhibited by pediatric kidney tumors.

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.

Purpose: To evaluate the association between the newly developed region of interest (ROI)-modified Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score, in which stranding was re-evaluated by computed tomography (CT) number, for predicting operation time in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).

Methods: The study participants were 119 patients who underwent transperitoneal RAPN. With regard to stranding, ROIs were evaluated, and the mean CT numbers were assigned a score ranging from 0 to 3.

Article Synopsis
  • Completely endophytic renal tumors (CERT) complicate surgical procedures due to their hidden locations, prompting the need for a 3D scoring model (RAL) based on imaging to improve assessment and outcomes.
  • In a study of 80 patients, those evaluated with 3D images (3D-Cohort) experienced fewer complications and better kidney function outcomes than those assessed with traditional 2D images (2D-Cohort), who faced longer surgeries and more significant bleeding.
  • The RAL scoring system was found to effectively predict surgical challenges and kidney function decline, with higher scores indicating larger tumors and greater operational issues.
