Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite partial nephrectomy (PN) renal function preservation benefits, postoperative renal dysfunction may occur. Perirenal fat thickness (PFT) is associated with renal dysfunction such as diabetes; however, its role in renal tumour surgery is unclear. This study investigates the role of PFT in renal function after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). METHODS Pre-operative factors for postoperative renal dysfunction were analysed in 156 patients undergoing RAPN with ≥1-year follow-up. PFT measured using computed tomography categorised patients with PFT >21.0 mm (median) as high-PFT. RESULTS Tumour size, total R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score and its N component, renal calyx opening, achievement of trifecta, and PFT were risk factors for renal dysfunction 1 year postoperatively. Age ≥75 years (p = 0.024), total RNS ≥7 (p = 0.036), and PFT >21.0 mm (p = 0.002) significantly correlated with postoperative renal dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS CT-measured PFT is a valuable predictor of postoperative renal dysfunction.

Abstract
Background The von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is a hereditary cancer syndrome with multifocal, bilateral cysts and solid tumors of the kidney. Surgical management may include multiple extirpative surgeries, which ultimately results in parenchymal volume loss and subsequent renal function decline. Recent studies have utilized parenchyma volume as an estimate of renal function prior to surgery for renal cell carcinoma; however, it is not yet validated for surgically altered kidneys with multifocal masses and complex cysts such as are present in VHL. Objective We sought to validate a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based volumetric analysis with mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG-3) renogram and postoperative renal function. Design setting and participants We identified patients undergoing renal surgery at the National Cancer Institute from 2015 to 2020 with preoperative MRI. Renal tumors, cysts, and parenchyma of the operated kidney were segmented manually using ITK-SNAP software. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis Serum creatinine and urinalysis were assessed preoperatively, and at 3- and 12-mo follow-up time points. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using serum creatinine-based CKD-EPI 2021 equation. A statistical analysis was conducted on R Studio version 4.1.1. Results and limitations Preoperative MRI scans of 113 VHL patients (56% male, median age 48 yr) were evaluated between 2015 and 2021. Twelve (10.6%) patients had a solitary kidney at the time of surgery; 59 (52%) patients had at least one previous partial nephrectomy on the renal unit. Patients had a median of three (interquartile range [IQR]: 2-5) tumors and five (IQR: 0-13) cysts per kidney on imaging. The median preoperative GFR was 70 ml/min/1.73 m2 (IQR: 58-89). Preoperative split renal function derived from MAG-3 studies and MRI split renal volume were significantly correlated (r = 0.848, p < 0.001). On the multivariable analysis, total preoperative parenchymal volume, solitary kidney, and preoperative eGFR were significant independent predictors of 12-mo eGFR. When only considering patients with two kidneys undergoing partial nephrectomy, preoperative parenchymal volume and eGFR remained significant predictors of 12-mo eGFR. Conclusions A parenchyma volume analysis on preoperative MRI correlates well with renogram split function and can predict long-term renal function with added benefit of anatomic detail and ease of application. Patient summary Prior to kidney surgery, it is important to understand the contribution of each kidney to overall kidney function. Nuclear medicine scans are currently used to measure split kidney function. We demonstrated that kidney volumes on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging can also be used to estimate split kidney function before surgery, while also providing essential details of tumor and kidney anatomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify factors associated with longitudinal ipsilateral functional decline after partial nephrectomy (PN). PATIENTS AND METHODS Of 1140 patients managed with PN (2012-2014), 349 (31%) had imaging/serum creatinine levels pre-PN, 1-12 months post-PN (new baseline), and >3 years later necessary for inclusion. Parenchymal-volume analysis was used to determine split renal function. Patients were grouped as having significant renal comorbidity (CohortSRC : diabetes mellitus with insulin-dependence or end-organ damage, refractory hypertension, or severe pre-existing chronic kidney disease) vs not having significant renal comorbidity (CohortNoSRC ) preoperatively. Multivariable regression was used to identify predictors of annual ipsilateral parenchymal atrophy and functional decline relative to new baseline values post-PN, after the kidney had healed. RESULTS The median follow-up was 6.3 years with 87/226/36 patients having cold/warm/zero ischaemia. The median cold/warm ischaemia times were 32/22 min. Overall, the median tumour size was 3.0 cm. The preoperative glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and new baseline GFR (NBGFR) were 81 and 71 mL/min/1.73 m2 , respectively. After establishment of the NBGFR, the median loss of global and ipsilateral function was 0.7 and 0.4 mL/min/1.73 m2 /year, respectively, consistent with the natural ageing process. Overall, the median ipsilateral parenchymal atrophy was 1.2 cm3 /year and accounted for a median of 53% of the annual functional decline. Significant renal comorbidity, age, and warm ischaemia were independently associated with ipsilateral parenchymal atrophy (all P < 0.01). Significant renal comorbidity and ipsilateral parenchymal atrophy were independently associated with annual ipsilateral functional decline (both P < 0.01). Annual median ipsilateral parenchymal atrophy and functional decline were both significantly increased for CohortSRC compared to CohortNoSRC (2.8 vs 0.9 cm3 , P < 0.01 and 0.90 vs 0.30 mL/min/1.73 m2 /year, P < 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Longitudinal renal function following PN generally follows the normal ageing process. Significant renal comorbidities, age, warm ischaemia, and ipsilateral parenchymal atrophy were the most important predictors of ipsilateral functional decline following establishment of NBGFR.

Abstract
Background Long-term renal function after partial nephrectomy (PN) is difficult to predict as it is influenced by several modifiable and nonmodifiable variables, often intertwined in complex relations. Objective To identify variables influencing long-term renal function after PN and to assess their relative weight. Design, setting, and participants A total of 457 patients who underwent either robotic (n = 412) or laparoscopic PN (n = 45) were identified from a multicenter international database. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis The 1-yr estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) percentage loss (1YPL), defined as the eGFR percentage change from baseline at 1 yr after surgery, was the outcome endpoint. Predictors evaluated included demographic data, tumor features, and operative and postoperative variables. Bayesian multimodel analysis of covariance was used to build all possible models and compare the fit of each model to the data via model Bayes factors. Bayesian model averaging was used to quantify the support for each predictor via the inclusion Bayes factor (BFincl). High-dimensional undirected graph estimation was used for network analysis of conditional independence between predictors. Results and limitations Several models were found to be plausible for estimation of 1YPL. The best model, comprising postoperative eGFR percentage loss (PPL), sex, ischemia technique, and preoperative eGFR, was 207 times more likely than all the other models regarding relative predictive performance. Its components were part of the top 44 models and were the predictors with the highest BFincl. The role of cold ischemia, solitary kidney status, surgeon experience, and type of renorraphy was not assessed. Conclusions Preoperative eGFR, sex, ischemia technique, and PPL are the best predictors of eGFR percentage loss at 1 yr after minimally invasive PN. Other predictors seem to be irrelevant, as their influence is insignificant or already nested in the effect of these four parameters. Patient summary Kidney function at 1 year after partial removal of a kidney depends on sex, the technique used to halt blood flow to the kidney during surgery, and kidney function at baseline and in the early postoperative period.

Abstract
Objective and subjective recovery times following a partial nephrectomy may exceed 1 year if patients adhere to the current Western lifestyle. This case demonstrates the rapid recovery of a 59-year-old female who underwent a robotic partial nephrectomy and utilized lifestyle modifications as an adjunct to the treatment of a Stage T1a clear cell renal cell carcinoma. All 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine are incorporated into this patient's recovery plan, which successfully reduced her time to recovery after a partial nephrectomy. This case illustrates how modifications in diet, activity, sleep, stress management, social connectedness, and avoidance of risky substances may shorten recovery time after a partial nephrectomy and may serve as an example that providers can prescribe for patients recovering from other surgeries.
