Editorial Comment

In this retrospective study the NCDB was used to evaluate practice patterns in patients with SRMs less than 4 cm between 2010 and 2014. Following adjustment the authors report a greater increase in the use of RPN or radical nephrectomy compared to AS. This change was significant even in patients who were 75 years of old or older and in those with multiple comorbidities (Charlson comorbidity index 2 or greater).
