Context A detailed understanding of renal surgical anatomy is necessary to optimize
preoperative planning and operative technique and provide a basis for improved outcomes …

Context Over the last decade, several nephrometry scores (NSs) have been introduced with
the aim of facilitating preoperative decision making, planning, and counseling in the field of …

Background While partial nephrectomy (PN) is the recommended treatment for many small
renal masses, anatomically complex tumors necessitate a clear understanding of the …

Objectives To evaluate and compare the correlations between Preoperative Aspects and
Dimensions Used for an Anatomical (PADUA) and RENAL [Radius (tumour size as maximal …

Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen is usually appropriate for the initial imaging of
many urinary tract diseases, due to its wide availability, fast scanning and acquisition of thin …

Introduction Adherent perirenal fat (APF) can be defined as inflammatory fat sticking to renal
parenchyma, whose dissection is difficult and makes it troublesome to expose the tumour …

Solid renal masses and cystic lesions with solid components are suspicious for renal cell
carcinoma. Without an effective screening test, composite models and nomograms rely on …

Objectives The complexity of partial nephrectomy (PN) is partly anticipated by morphometric
tumor-based scores that do not consider patient-related issues such as adherent perinephric …

Background Nephrometry scores are designed for standardized reporting of renal tumors
and predicting complications. Multiple scores are available, but there is a lack of systematic …
