Abstract
The indications, complications and mortality rate in a recent 12 yr experience with 347 nephrectomies were reviewed. Renal tumor is the most frequent condition requiring nephrectomy, probably because of the improved, non-ablative methods to treat inflammatory, obstructive, calculous and hypertensive renal disease. The overall mortality rate was 1.4% but was almost nil in the absence of malignancy.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
