Improved prediction of nephron-sparing surgery versus radical nephrectomy by the optimized R.E.N.A.L. (optR.E.N.A.L.) score in patients undergoing surgery for renal masses.

CONCLUSIONS: optR.E.N.A.L. represents a promising improvement of the preexisting R.E.N.A.L. score with higher predictive ability for nephrectomy type than established MS and may serve as a benchmarking tool for nephrectomy assessment and comparison of surgical strategies.
