Repeat partial nephrectomy on the solitary kidney: surgical, functional and oncological outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We examined outcomes in patients with recurrent or de novo renal lesions treated with repeat partial nephrectomy on a solitary kidney.

Materials and methods

We reviewed the records of patients who underwent nephron sparing surgery at the National Cancer Institute from 1989 to 2008.

Results

A total of 25 patients were included in the anal
