The nephrometry score: is it effective for predicting perioperative outcome during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy?

CONCLUSIONS: Tumor size and proximity of the mass to the collecting system showed significant associations with EBL and WIT, respectively, during RPN. The R.E.N.A.L and PADUA nephrometry scoring systems did not predict perioperative outcomes. PMID: 24741414 [PubMed]
