Abstract

Purpose: We retrospectively reviewed the preoperative radiologic findings and operational videos of a group of patients who were undergoing laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery (NSS), to determine whether we should decide the operational approach (laparoscopic vs open or radical nephrectomy) on the basis of only the preoperative aspects and dimensions used for an anatomic (PADUA) classification.
