A Novel Mathematical Model to Predict the Severity of Postoperative Functional Reduction before Partial Nephrectomy: The Importance of Calculating Resected and Ischemic Volume

摘要

Purpose: Preoperatively predicting postoperative kidney function is an essential step to achieve improved renal function and prevent chronic kidney disease. We introduce a novel formula especially to calculate resected and ischemic volume before partial nephrectomy. We examined whether resected and ischemic volume would have value for predicting postoperative renal function.
