Propensity-matched pair analysis of safety and efficacy between laparoscopic and open radical nephrectomy for the treatment of large renal masses (>10 cm): a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Open radical nephrectomy (ORN) is a practical procedure for treating patients with large renal carcinomas >10 cm in size, and few studies have focused on feasibility and safety of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN). The current study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of LRN and ORN in large renal carcinoma patients by propensity matched pair analysis.

Methods

In this cohort study, a retrospective review of radical nephrectomy data from October 2010 to October 2018 at Changhai Hospital was conducted. Patients with renal carcinomas >10 cm in size by pre-operative images were included. Patients' demographics including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), tumor size, operation time, hospitalization days, etc. were collected. Renal tumor patients undergoing
