ABSTRACT
We investigated the outcomes of nephron-sparing surgery in patients with small renal cell carcinomas by retrospectively reviewing the records of 20 elective cases of nephron-sparing surgery performed from 1994 to 2003. All patients had low pathologic stage, localized, unilateral tumors smaller than 4 cm and sporadic renal cell carcinomas. There were no significant differences between mean preoperative serum creatinine levels and postoperative levels. Nephron-sparing surgery may be safe and curative treatment for low pathologic stage, localized, unilateral tumors smaller than 4 cm and sporadic renal cell carcinomas.
