Does nephrometry scoring of renal tumors predict outcomes in patients selected for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy?

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has become a frequently performed procedure. It is thus inevitable that some candidates for radical prostatectomy for prostatic carcinoma will have undergone such previous intervention. Mesh placement in the space of Retzius as performed in laparoscopic hernia ...
