Growing experience of partial nephrectomy has enabled surgery to be offered to patients previously considered too complex.
Prior abdominal surgery can greatly increase the complexity of a partial nephrectomy and requires careful preoperative and intraoperative planning.
Horseshoe kidneys may be complicated by aberrant vascular anatomy particularly if a heminephrectomy is required.
