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.Excised Parenchymal Mass During Partial Nephrectomy: Functional Implications
To evaluate whether excised parenchymal mass (EPM) during partial nephrectomy (PN) correlates with functional decline and can serve as a surrogate for functional outcomes.
