Abstract
PurposeWe evaluated the technical feasibility and followup outcomes of a nephron sparing operation for localized renal cell carcinoma and von Hippel-Lindau disease.Materials and MethodsOur 5 patients underwent initial nephron sparing surgery followed by serial computerized tomography.ResultsAll but 1 renal lesion was resected in 9 initial nephron sparing operations. Postoperative computerized tomography revealed 35 lesions of which 8 had enlarged. Four patients underwent secondary renal surgery and adequate renal function was preserved.ConclusionsEven with the high risk of local recurrence nephron sparing surgery is an appropriate approach for these patients.
