“…Experienced and respected partial nephrectomists have openly commented on the need for a model that predicts the risk of encountering intraoperative APF [7]. Given these difficulties, we aimed to develop a user-friendly scoring system to predict the probability of encountering APF intraoperatively.…”

“…Although obesity and increased visceral fat have been linked to increased surgical difficulty and postoperative complications in both radical nephrectomy and PN, there have been limited efforts to determine whether visceral fat can be used to predict the presence of APF [7]. In reply to a recent study in which the authors examined the association of increased abdominal fat (IAF) and perioperative complications, editorials from two experienced partial nephrectomists pointed out the missed opportunity to assess the correlation between increased visceral fat and APF.…”

“…These scoring systems classify tumor complexity based on the imaging findings for tumor-specific factors. In addition to tumor-specific factors, however, surgeons must consider patient-specific factors such as visceral fat, which may be linked to greater surgical difficulty and complications [2]. During PN DOI: 10.1159/000494068 procedures, surgeons sometimes encounter sticky fat around the renal parenchyma which has been designated as adherent perinephric fat (APF).…”

“…Furthermore, obesity makes minimally invasive partial nephrectomy ( MIPN) more challenging, as increasing BMI and intraabdominal fat (IAF) are associated with increased risk of postoperative complications following MIPN. 11 Herein, our aim is to assess the impact of BMI on perioperative and renal functional outcomes in patients undergoing MIPN.…”
