Tumor enucleation for the treatment of T1 renal tumors: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Fifteen of the 17 studies were published in English; the other 2 were published in Spanish [ 40 ] and Russian [ 41 ], respectively. The countries of origins of the included studies were China [ 42 43 44 45 46 ], Japan [ 47 48 ], Italy [ 49 50 ], Spain [ 40 ], Romania [ 51 52 ], Russia [ 41 ], and the United States [ 53 54 55 56 ]. We attempted to contact the corresponding authors of the included studies to obtain additional information on the study methodology and results and received replies for two studies [ 53 55 ].…”

“…The interventions were mainly minimally invasive, and they included laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Three studies used various surgical techniques for nephrectomy (two studies [ 40 49 ], open or laparoscopic; one study [ 50 ], open, laparoscopic, or robot-assisted). Two studies did not describe the interventions in detail [ 41 56 ].…”

“…Two NRSs reported cancer-specific mortality (follow-up: median 18 to 37 months), but no study reported overall mortality [ 42 43 ]. Major adverse events were reported in 10 NRSs [ 42 43 44 45 47 48 49 50 52 55 ]. Local recurrence was reported in 6 studies including 1 RCT [ 42 43 44 45 46 52 ].…”

“…Distant metastasis was reported in three studies [ 42 43 52 ]. A positive surgical margin was reported in 15 studies including 1 RCT [ 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 52 53 54 55 ]. Overall adverse events were reported in 13 NRSs [ 40 41 42 43 44 45 47 48 49 50 52 55 56 ].…”
