    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Surgical enucleation offers a minimally invasive approach for treating renal cell carcinoma in challenging cases, including solitary kidneys. This technique allows for tumor removal with minimal impact on kidney function, showing promising long-term results in patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in solitary kidneys or with compromised contralateral kidney function presents unique treatment challenges.
    • Traditional nephrectomy may lead to significant renal function loss.

    Observation:

    • This study evaluated the efficacy of simple enucleation for pseudoencapsulated renal cell carcinoma in five patients with specific renal conditions.
    • The procedure aimed for relatively avascular tumor removal.

    Findings:

    • All five patients treated with surgical enucleation survived for 9 months to 5 years post-operation.
    • No evidence of local recurrence or metastatic disease was observed in the follow-up period.
    • The technique demonstrated applicability to tumors in any kidney portion.

    Implications:

    • Simple enucleation is a viable, organ-sparing option for select renal cell carcinoma cases.
    • The procedure minimizes disturbance to renal hemodynamics and overall renal function.
    • This approach offers a simpler, effective alternative with favorable oncological outcomes.
