Abstract

Patients with locally advanced renal cell carcinoma require an aggressive surgical approach, as this strategy represents the only hope for curing the disease. Selection of the appropriate surgical technique to treat these cases is essential in order to achieve the best outcomes. This process usually entails a tailored approach centered on the individual disease features. This article reviews the indications and provides a technical description for each of the surgical steps commonly used to address the multiple possible scenarios in this context.
