Abstract

BACKGROUND: There is an ongoing need and search for a simple yet accurate nephrometry scoring system for predicting the postoperative outcomes after partial nephrectomy (PN). Simplified PADUA Renal (SPARE) Nephrometry Scoring System, a simplified version of Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for an Anatomical Classification (PADUA) has been proposed as a predictor of postoperative complications following PN recently. However, this score has never been externally validated and assessed as a predictor of trifecta and pentafecta outcomes of PN. In the current study, we applied the SPARE scoring system to our robot-assisted PN cohort (RAPN).
