Pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas of the renal artery are rare complications of partial nephrectomy. Presentation is often delayed. Superselective coil embolization is a safe, minimally invasive treatment option that usually solves the clinical problem and preserves renal function.
OPN and MIPN procedures performed in patients with tumors>4-7 cm offer acceptable and comparable results in terms of operative, functional, and convalescence measures, regardless of approach.
LNS is helpful for survival stratification in patients treated with RNU for UTUC. However, LNS did not appear as an independent predictor of survival in this retrospective series and needs to be investigated in a large multicentre, prospective evaluation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
