Abstract

BACKGROUND: Utility of partial nephrectomy (PN) for complex renal mass (CRM) is controversial. We determined the impact of surgical modality on postoperative renal functional outcomes for CRM. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed a multicenter registry (ROSULA). CRM was defined as RENAL Score 10-12. The cohort was divided into PN and radical nephrectomy (RN) for analyses. Primary outcome was development of de-novo estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)<45 mL/min/1.73 m2. Secondary outcomes were de-novo eGFR<60 and ΔeGFR between diagnosis and last follow-up. Cox proportional hazards was used to elucidate predictors for de-novo eGFR<60 and <45. Linear regression was utilized to analyze ΔeGFR. Kaplan-Meier Analysis (KMA) was performed to analyze 5-year freedom from de-novo eGFR<60 and <45. RESULTS: We analyzed 969 patients (RN=429/PN=540; median follow-up 24.0 months). RN patients had lower BMI (P<0.001) and larger tumor size (P<0.001). Overall postoperative complication rate was higher for PN (P<0.001), but there was no difference in major complications (Clavien III-IV; P=0.702). MVA demonstrated age (HR=1.05, P<0.001), tumor-size (HR=1.05, P=0.046), RN (HR=2.57, P<0.001), and BMI (HR=1.04, P=0.001) to be associated with risk for de-novo eGFR<60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Age (HR=1.03, P<0.001), BMI (HR=1.06, P<0.001), baseline eGFR (HR=0.99, P=0.002), tumor size (HR=1.07, P=0.007) and RN (HR=2.39, P<0.001) were risk factors for de-novo eGFR<45 mL/min/1.73 m2. RN (B=-10.89, P<0.001) was associated with greater ΔeGFR. KMA revealed worse 5-year freedom from de-novo eGFR<60 (71% vs. 33%, P<0.001) and de-novo eGFR<45 (79% vs. 65%, P<0.001) for RN. CONCLUSIONS: PN provides functional benefit in selected patients with CRM without significant increase in major complications compared to RN, and should be considered when technically feasible.
