Impact of Comorbidities on Functional Recovery from Partial Nephrectomy

Abstract

Recovery of function after partial nephrectomy depends primarily on parenchymal mass preservation and ischemia characteristics. Comorbidities failed to be associated with functional outcomes. Comorbidities can impact function, leading to surgery, and may influence long-term functional stability. However, our data suggest that they do not influence short-term recovery after partial nephrectomy.
