Open Partial Nephrectomy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Renal Cancer

Abstract

Open partial nephrectomy is a challenging operation that requires complete tumor resection with a negative margin and maximal preservation of functioning renal parenchyma with the aim of maximizing cancer-specific survival and minimizing postoperative chronic kidney disease, morbidity, and mortality. This chapter will provide a detailed discussion of the rationale for PN as well as its current indications. The importance of minimizing renal ischemia and other predictors of postoperative CKD will be discussed. The techniques of open PN will be described.
