Intraoperative Ultrasound In Nephron-Sparing Surgery For Paediatric Renal Tumours: A Single-Centre Cohort Study

Topic overview

Key takeaways

• Intraoperative ultrasound improves surgical margin assessment during nephron-sparing surgery in pediatric renal tumors
• Incomplete tumor excision in NSS often necessitates additional therapy that can compromise remaining renal function
• US-guided NSS aims to maximize healthy kidney tissue preservation while ensuring complete tumor removal
• Real-time ultrasound during surgery helps surgeons achieve negative histological margins more reliably
• This technique addresses the critical balance between oncologic adequacy and preserving kidney function in children
