Abstract
ObjectiveTo assess the utility of nephrometry scoring systems (R.E.N.A.L.-PADUA) in planning nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) in patients with renal masses. NSS has become the standard for the management of localised renal masses; however, an objective preoperative evaluation is needed. The nephrometry scores role is preoperative evaluation of the complexity of partial nephrectomy (PN) and evaluation of possible postoperative complications, and these scores are not yet standardly used in many countries including Algeria.
