Reoperative partial nephrectomy (RePN) offers several advantages for the treatment of recurrent, multifocal renal masses. RePN has been previously demonstrated to be technically feasible and delay the need for renal replacement therapy. However, there is still inherent complexity and known risks to reoperative nephrectomy. We studied the largest population of RePNs to characterize renal functional outcomes and the likelihood of intra- and postoperative complications.
