Abstract
Kidney cancer is the 13th most common malignancy worldwide with significant increase in Stage I renal cell cancer (RCC). Surgical excision by nephron sparing surgery (NSS) remains the treatment of choice for small renal masses (SRMs). One of the variants of partial nephrectomy is simple enucleation (SE) or tumor enucleation (TE). The present review comments on the indications and technical aspects of SE as well as its outcomes. SE/TE has shown both perioperative and oncologic satisfactory results, comparable to partial nephrectomy (PN). It is a valid technique for SRMs and achieves maximum renal parenchymal preservation with an insignificant impact on renal function.
