ObjectiveTo evaluate whether elective off‐clamp laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) affords long‐term renal functional benefit compared with the on‐clamp approach.
Patients and MethodsThis is a retrospective review of patients who underwent elective LPN between 2006 and 2011. Patients were followed longitudinally for up to 5 years. In all, 315 patients with radiographic evidence of a solitary...
While compensatory hypertrophy is expected in solitary kidneys, the definition of appropriate hypertrophy remains unclear. The normal renal growth rate in children age 1 to 18 years with 2 kidneys has been defined as 0.28 × age (years) + 6.1. Solitary kidneys appear to grow faster and larger and, thus, require a separate growth curve. The records of all patients 18 years old or younger with solitary...

METHODS:Subjects undergoing first prostate biopsy enrolled in a multicenter, prospective cohort of the National...
