Abstract
In a multi-institutional cohort of patients undergoing laparoscopic cryoablation, the R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score is independently associated with the occurrence of complications. Therefore, nephrometry can be used to successfully stratify patients in terms of anticipated risk of complications which, in turn, may help with surgical decision making.
