Partial nephrectomy vs. radical nephrectomy for renal tumors: A meta-analysis of renal function and cardiovascular outcomes

摘要

Objectives: The widespread use of partial nephrectomy (PN) has led to the preservation of functional renal parenchyma. However, the benefits of PN on renal function and cardiovascular outcomes remain controversial. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed to reconcile the conflicting results.
