Cumulative Impact of Serial Partial Nephrectomy for the Treatment of Recurrent Renal Masses.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Reoperative partial nephrectomy (RePN) offers several advantages for the treatment of recurrent, multifocal renal masses. RePN has been previously demonstrated to be technically feasible and delay the need for renal replacement therapy. However, there is still inherent complexity and known risks to reoperative nephrectomy. We studied the largest population of RePNs to characterize renal functional outcomes and the likelihood of intra- and postoperative complications.

Materials and methods

Query of an institutional surgical registry was conducted. Demographic data, serum creatinine for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and protein dipstick results were assessed within 1 week prior to surgery, and postoperative function assessments were studied within a year
