Renal functional outcomes after robotic multiplex partial nephrectomy: the National Cancer Institute experience with robotic partial nephrectomy for 3 or more tumors in a single kidney

摘要

To identify renal function outcomes after robotic multiplex partial nephrectomy (RMxPNx), we reviewed our institutional database at the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute. To our knowledge, we present the largest series of RMxPNx renal function outcomes to date. Robotic partial nephrectomy has been employed for oncologic control and to prevent dialysis dependence in hereditary multifocal renal cell carcinoma conditions. We have termed robotic surgery on a single kidney with three or more lesions a RMxPNx.
