Tumor Contact Surface Area As a Predictor of Functional Outcomes After Standard Partial Nephrectomy: Utility and Limitations
To evaluate contact surface area (CSA) between the tumor and parenchyma as a predictor of ipsilateral parenchyma and function preserved after partial nephrectomy (PN). Previous studies suggested that CSA is a strong predictor of functional outcomes but the limitations of CSA have not been adequately explored.
