|April 1, 1980
Summary
This study examined kidney partial resection patients from 1965-1978, finding a 24.5% recidivation rate. Kidney surgery outcomes were similar to pyelolithotomy, suggesting careful patient selection is crucial.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Urology
- Surgical Oncology
Context:
- Evaluating long-term outcomes of partial kidney resection.
- Assessing recidivism rates in patients undergoing renal surgery.
- Analyzing historical data from 1965 to 1978.
Purpose:
- To determine the actual recidivation rate after partial kidney resection.
- To compare recidivism rates with those following pyelolithotomy.
- To evaluate the impact of surgical technique on recurrence.
Summary:
- 106 out of 120 patients treated between 1965-1978 were re-examined after a mean of 6.5 years.
- A 24.5% recidivation rate was observed.
- The annual recidivation rate increased with follow-up duration, showing no significant difference compared to pyelolithotomy (26.7%).
Impact:
- Highlights the importance of patient selection for partial kidney resection.
- Suggests that coagulum pyelolithotomy has led to more stringent indications for partial nephrectomy.
- Provides insights into the long-term efficacy and recurrence patterns of kidney surgery.
