Long-term outcome data indicate that open partial nephrectomy has cancer-free survival rates comparable to those of radical surgery, with better preservation of renal function, decreased overall mortality and reduced frequency of cardiovascular events. Open partial nephrectomy is increasingly being challenged by laparoscopic and/or robot assisted partial nephrectomy, which in the hands of experts appears to achieve comparable oncological results, albeit at a higher complication rate. We report a review based on literature published over the past years, which may provide insight into the role of open partial nephrectomy in the present urological practice and in years to come.

Percutaneous cryoablation of renal tumours under computed tomography guidance: methodology of the procedure.
Pol J Radiol
November 2024
University Center of Excellence in Urology, Wroclaw Medical University, Wroclaw, Poland.
Purpose: The incidence of renal cell carcinoma has been steadily increasing over the past two decades, raising the need for minimally invasive approaches. We sought to present the methodology of the percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) procedure developed based on one year of experience with 81 PCA procedures.
Material And Methods: The percutaneous cryoablation programme at Wroclaw Medical University Hospital has been successfully operating for a year.
Impact of thermal denaturation on renal volume reduction after partial nephrectomy using soft coagulation hemostasis.

Partial nephrectomy has become the gold standard treatment for small renal masses. This study aimed to assess the impact of soft coagulation hemostasis on parenchymal volume reduction of the operated kidney after an open partial nephrectomy. We retrospectively reviewed 94 patients with small renal tumors who underwent open partial nephrectomy with soft-coagulation hemostasis at our institution.

January 2025
Cancer Prognostics and Health Outcomes Unit, Division of Urology, University of Montréal Health Center, Montréal, QC, Canada.
Objectives: To examine critical care therapy rates after cytoreductive nephrectomy in metastatic kidney cancer patients.
Design, Setting, And Patients: Relying on the National Inpatient Sample (2000-2019), we addressed critical care therapy use (total parenteral nutrition, invasive mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube insertion, and tracheostomy) and in-hospital mortality in surgically treated metastatic kidney cancer patients. Estimated annual percentage changes and multivariable logistic regression models were fitted.
Innovative Integration of Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Telesurgery and Quantum Cryptography Communication in Urology: Clinical Application and Initial Experience.
Int J Med Robot
February 2025
Department of Urology, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.
Background: The emergence of telesurgery has received global interest, with secure network transmission identified as a crucial determinant of its success. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and viability of employing quantum cryptography communication in remote partial nephrectomy.
Methods: The surgeon operated on the patient from a distance of over 260 km using remote control of a surgical robot.
A clinical audit of adverse post-nephrectomy outcomes in renal cell carcinoma patients at a tertiary hospital in Queensland, Australia.
J Nephrol
January 2025
Townsville Hospital and Health Service, Douglas, QLD, 4814, Australia.
Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignancy, and nephrectomy is the mainstay of treatment for non-metastatic disease. The choice of surgery depends on the risks of oncologic recurrence, kidney function decline, and perioperative complications. This study aimed to identify factors associated with adverse post-operative outcomes in RCC patients undergoing nephrectomy at Townsville University Hospital (TUH).
