SAN DIEGO, CA USA (UroToday.com) - Nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) is increasingly used for management of renal masses, motivated by renal function preservation.
Duration of warm ischemia time (WIT) and functional parenchymal volume (FPV) following NSS are implicated determining post-operative renal function. Recent work has suggested the FPV is a more significant factor than WIT with regard to renal function after NSS. We sought to evaluate impact of WIT and FPV on intermediate-term renal functional outcomes following NSS at our institution.
