The surgical treatment of renal tumors - a 30-month evaluation of the post operative period at a secondary center

CONCLUSIONS: Data from our center confirmed the findings from other literature that nephron-sparing surgeries lead to a lower decline in kidney function than with nephrectomies. This benefit for kidney function also remained during the follow-up. When performing a nephrectomy, the laparoscopic approach offers a shorter hospital stay for the patient than with an open surgery.PMID:33818428
