Partial nephrectomy aims to provide both effective oncological management and renal function preservation. Surgical complications pertaining to the defect created during a partial nephrectomy include haemorrhage and urinary leak. We explore advances in techniques for managing the defect created during a partial nephrectomy (renorrhaphy).
