TL;DR: The evidence base suggests localised RCCs are best managed by nephron-sparing surgery where technically feasible, however, the current evidence base has significant limitations due to studies of low methodological quality marked by high risks of bias.

TL;DR: There is good evidence indicating that partial neph rectomy results in better preservation of renal function and better QoL outcomes than radical nephrectomy regardless of technique or approach, and there is no good evidence to suggest that minimally invasive procedures such as cryotherapy or radiofrequency ablation have superior perioperative or Qo L outcomes to neph Rectomy.
