Abstract

The widespread use of routine abdominal imaging has led to an increased proportion of patients diagnosed with asymptomatic small renal masses. Minimally invasive renal surgery has become one of the main treatment choice for the management of small renal masses. In this chapter the pros and cons of minimally invasive renal surgery will be analyzed for both benign and malignant diseases.
