Abstract

Partial nephrectomy (PN) and radical nephrectomy (RN) are increasingly performed due to the rising diagnosis of renal masses. In general, PN carries a higher risk of perioperative complications but preserves renal function, whereas RN has lower complication rates but greater long-term functional decline. Overall, perioperative complications for both surgeries are acceptable, with low rates of major complications. This article summarizes the incidence, presentation, risk factors, prevention, and management of complications associated with these procedures.
