    Partial nephrectomy, a kidney-sparing surgery, is safe and effective when using modern techniques. This study analyzes risks and complications, suggesting methods to further minimize patient morbidity during partial nephrectomy procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Partial nephrectomy (PN) is a crucial kidney-sparing procedure for renal tumors.
    • Historical data on the safety and outcomes of PN is essential for refining surgical techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the operative and postoperative risks associated with partial nephrectomy.
    • To identify factors influencing complications and suggest improvements in surgical approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 306 partial nephrectomies performed between 1957 and 1977.
    • Analysis of operative/postoperative risks based on surgical indication, technique, and patient factors.

    Main Results:

    • Partial nephrectomy using modern techniques demonstrated acceptable operative time, blood loss, and hospital stay.

  • Identified complications included: 1 death, 8 delayed nephrectomies, 2 cases of delayed renal hemorrhage, 10 urinary fistulas/urinomas, and 16 wound infections.

    • Conclusions:

    • Partial nephrectomy is a safe procedure with acceptable outcomes.
    • Understanding complication patterns can guide technique modifications to further reduce morbidity.
