On‐clamp versus off‐clamp partial nephrectomy: Propensity score‐matched comparison of long‐term functional outcomes

Abstract

Off-clamp partial nephrectomy seems to offer a higher probability of maintaining 100% estimated glomerular filtration rate after surgery. In our cohort, patients undergoing on-clamp partial nephrectomy presented a 7.3-fold increased risk of developing a severe chronic kidney disease during follow up.
