Clinical predictors and significance of adherent perinephric fat assessed with Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score and Perinephric Fat Surface Density (PnFSD) at the time of partial nephrectomy for localized renal mass. A single high-volume referral centre experience.

CONCLUSIONS: In experienced hands, APF did not impact on intra- or perioperative outcomes after PN. Metabolic syndrome was the only significant predictor of APF in our series. PMID: 32026669 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
