- Abstract
Recent literature has focused on the importance of maximal nephron preservation during partial nephrectomy to avoid complications associated with chronic renal insufficiency. Accurate differentiation of tumor from normal surrounding parenchyma is critical to ensure excessive normal renal tissue is not made ischemic or excised along with the tumor. The feasibility of a novel intraoperative imaging technique to differentiate tumor from surrounding parenchyma during laparoscopic and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy was evaluated.
