Abstract

The data in the literature are confusing and conflicted as to the role of various surgical maneuvers and their impact on postoperative renal function. The aim of this chapter is to review the current literature and to present my own personal experience, regarding the role of warm ischemia and the volume of renal parenchyma preserved on the ultimate postoperative renal functional outcome following partial nephrectomy (PN).
