Background: Despite the fact that nephron-sparing treatment is considered preferable from a surgical perspective patients' quality of life (QoL) following different types of nephron-sparing treatments remains unclear.
Purpose: To investigate the quality of life and complications after nephron-sparing treatment of renal cell carcinomas of stage T1.
Materials And Methods: A systematic search of six databases was carried out. We included studies that reported the quality of life and complications in patients aged 18 years or older following nephron-sparing treatment of renal cell carcinoma stage T1. The quality assessment was performed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist for cohort studies and the CASP Randomized Controlled Trial Checklist. Data were analyzed using a narrative approach.
Results: Eight studies were included, six of which investigated QoL after partial nephrectomy and two after ablation therapies. Seven studies reported complications. Three studies reported higher QoL scores after partial nephrectomy compared to radical nephrectomy. Two studies showed that QoL increased or returned to baseline levels up to 12 months following partial nephrectomy. One study reported a gradual increase in QoL after radiofrequency ablation, and one study reported that all patients recovered to baseline QoL following cryoablation. Across studies, we found a complication rate up to 20% after partial nephrectomy and up to 12.5% after ablation therapy.
Conclusions: The results of this systematic review suggest that nephron-sparing treatment appears to be superior or comparable to other treatment alternatives with regard to QoL outcomes. Additionally, based on the studies included in this review, partial nephrectomy appears to have a higher complication rate compared with ablation therapies.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of renal score grading in guiding therapy decisions, predicting perioperative outcomes, and characterising tumours following partial nephrectomy.
Methods: The retrospective, single-centre study was conducted at the University College Hospital Galway, Ireland, and comprised data from January 11, 2012, to June 17, 2016, of all patients aged >18 years who underwent partial nephrectomy as part of treatment for kidney cancer. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.
Objective: To analyze clinical and radiological features and trends in the management pattern of renal angiomyolipomas (AML) in a tertiary care center over a 30-year period.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients referred to our institutions from 1992 to 2022 with final diagnosis of AML. Demographics, clinical presentation, radiological findings, renal function status, and treatment options were recorded.
Nephron-sparing Surgery for Pediatric Renal Tumors After Centralization of Pediatric Oncology Care in the Netherlands: Improved Outcomes With 3D Modeling.
J Pediatr Surg
December 2024
Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology, Utrecht, the Netherlands.
Background And Aim: In this retrospective single center cohort study, we report the surgical outcomes of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) for Wilms' tumor (WT) patients since centralization of pediatric oncology care in the Netherlands, and implementation of technological advancements. Therewith we describe the influence of experience and innovations for this type of surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively assessed all NSS procedures from January 1st 2015 until January 1st 2024 for patients who underwent surgery for a renal tumor at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the predictive accuracy of a new nephrometry model (RSR) for nephron-sparing surgery in pediatric patients with Wilms tumor, comparing it to existing models.
- Data from 58 pediatric patients were analyzed, calculating nephrometry scores such as RENAL, PADUA, and SPARE, and the RSR model showed superior predictive performance with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.982.
- The RSR model not only outperformed the other nephrometry scores significantly but also demonstrated good inter-rater reliability, leading to the development of a user-friendly web-based calculator for its application.
Wilms' Tumor - An Audit.

Department of Pathology, Lady Hardinge Medical College and Associated Kalawati Children's Hospital, New Delhi, India.
Background And Aims: Outcome analysis of patients with Wilms' tumors (WT) is presented.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 23 children having WT managed by a single surgeon over 3 years (2021-2024) using the International Society of Paediatric Oncology Umbrella protocol was done.
Results: The median age at presentation was 36 months; 32 months and 24 months for the unilateral WT (uWT) ( = 19) and bilateral WT (bWT) ( = 4), respectively.
