Nephron-sparing surgery is now the standard for renal cell carcinoma tumors under 4 cm, offering excellent outcomes. It is also increasingly used for larger tumors based on favorable oncological and technical feasibility.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) has evolved significantly over the past two decades.
  • Initially reserved for imperative indications to preserve solitary kidney function, it is now widely adopted for elective cases due to favorable oncological results.

Purpose:

  • This review synthesizes current indications, perioperative management, surgical techniques, and oncological outcomes for NSS.
  • It highlights the growing trend of NSS for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Summary:

  • Current European Association of Urology guidelines recommend NSS as the standard for RCC tumors < 4 cm with a healthy contralateral kidney.
  • Major institutions are extending elective NSS to tumors > 4 cm when technically feasible, demonstrating excellent postoperative and oncological results.
  • The review covers surgical approaches, perioperative care, and outcomes, including data from the authors' institution.

Impact:

  • NSS is increasingly recognized as a standard therapeutic option for renal cell carcinoma, improving patient outcomes.
  • The expansion of NSS to larger tumors signifies advancements in surgical techniques and oncological management.
  • This approach preserves renal function while achieving favorable oncological control.
