Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy favoured for the treatment of small renal masses

Partial nephrectomy is the standard of care for smaller renal masses. A recent review studies the different approaches of open surgery compared to laparoscopic surgery. It finds no cancer outcome differences, but supports the laparoscopic approach for reducing morbidity. However, it points out that the laparoscopic approach is a tremendously difficult technique, which limits its use to surgeons proficient in the technique.
