On-clamp versus purely off-clamp robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in solitary kidneys: comparison of perioperative outcomes and chronic kidney disease progression at two high- volume centers.

CONCLUSIONS: eGFRd and WIT during RPN are independent predictors of pCKD in SK. In this setting a critical reduction of WIT should be achieved according to the oncologic outcome. In patients with SK, WIT represents the only surgical modifiable factor of RPN for avoiding a quicker onset of pCKD. PMID: 32573170 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
