Nephrometry systems provide important information for treatment planning, patient counseling and comparison between different partial nephrectomy (PN) series. RENAL and PADUA classification are the most popular and widely used nephrometry systems. The objective of the study are: to simplify the original PADUA classification of renal tumors generating a new system able to predict equally or better the risk of overall complications in patients undergoing PN; and to test if the addition of contact surface area (CSA) parameter improves the accuracy of the original and new simplified PADUA classification
