Clinical predictors and significance of adherent perinephric fat assessed with Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score and Perinephric Fat Surface Density (PnFSD) at the time of partial nephrectomy for localized renal mass. A single high-volume referral centre experience

Adherent perinephric fat (APF) could negatively influence surgical outcomes of partial nephrectomy (PN). Novel radiological scores have been introduced to preoperatively detect APF, i.e. Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score and Perinephric Fat Surface Density (PnFSD). We aimed to evaluate clinical predictors of APF and the association of MAP and PnFSD with perioperative outcomes after PN.
