Abstract
Objective: To assess the efficacy of renal score grading in guiding therapy decisions, predicting perioperative outcomes, and characterising tumours following partial nephrectomy.
Methods: The retrospective, single-centre study was conducted at the University College Hospital Galway, Ireland, and comprised data from January 11, 2012, to June 17, 2016, of all patients aged >18 years who underwent partial nephrectomy as part of treatment for kidney cancer. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.
Results: Of the 76 patients, 52(68.4%) were males and 24(31.6%) were females. The median age of patients was 58 years (IQR: 16). Tumours were predominantly on the right side 44(57.9%) and lower pole 36(47.4%), with a median tumour size of 2.35 cm (IQR: 1.0 cm), and renal score had a median of 5.00 (IQR: 2). Of the total, 70(92.1%) patients underwent open surgery, with complications in 6(7.9%), which were associated significantly with higher body mass index, American Society of Anaesthesiologists classification score, warm ischaemia time and tumour size (p<0.05). Recurrence correlated with tumour size and positive margins (p<0.05). Survival analysis showed a median diseasefree survival (DFS) of 30 months (IQR: 6 months). However, due to the absence of events, the median overall survival (OS) and survival estimates could not be fully calculated. The longest follow-up time was 36 months, with no recorded mortality in the cohort.
Conclusions: For individuals with comparatively small localised renal tumours, the selection of partial nephrectomy was found to be a suitable alternative, showcasing exceptional results regarding the complication profile, recurrencefree survival and overall survival.
期刊介绍:
Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
