Good results seen with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy following selective embolization of tumor

The short-term oncological and functional outcomes for partial nephrectomy are comparable for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy following selective embolization of tumor (LPNE) in a hybrid operating room and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). A longer follow-up and a larger cohort of patients would be necessary to verify the benefits of LPNE, which appears to be a very interesting alternative to RAPN.07/25/2018
