    Postoperative sonography is crucial for malignant renal tumors. Renal fossa recurrence and lymph node metastasis rates are significantly higher after renal pelvic carcinoma surgery compared to hypernephroma surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Radiology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Postoperative staging of malignant renal tumors requires effective imaging modalities.
    • Sonography offers a comprehensive view of the abdomen, retroperitoneum, and renal fossa.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of sonography in the postoperative staging of malignant renal tumors.
    • To assess the incidence of local recurrences and lymph node metastases after different types of renal tumor surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Multiple sonographic examinations were performed on 63 patients post-nephrectomy.
    • The study focused on evaluating the liver, abdomen, retroperitoneal space, renal fossa, and solitary kidney.

    Main Results:

    • Local recurrences were observed in 5.3% of hypernephroma patients and 68% of renal pelvic carcinoma patients.

  • Retroperitoneal lymph node metastases were found in 7.6% of hypernephroma patients and 17% of renal pelvic carcinoma patients.
  • Higher recurrence and metastasis rates in the renal fossa for renal pelvic carcinoma suggest differences in lymphatic drainage.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sonography is valuable for detecting local recurrences and metastases after renal tumor surgery.
    • The renal fossa requires particular attention post-nephrectomy, especially after renal pelvic carcinoma surgery.
    • Differences in lymphatic drainage may explain the varying recurrence patterns between renal pelvis and renal parenchyma tumors.
