Abstract
This article presents a systematic literature review to assess the survival outcomes of patients with bilateral renal cell carcinoma who underwent nephro-preserving surgery. Patients with bilateral renal neoplastic lesions represent a rare subpopulation, numbering, according to different authors, from 2 to 6 % of the total RCC group. Despite the increase in the number of cases of bilateral RCC, the number of works devoted to the study of the features of surgical intervention, prognosis factors, treatment outcomes and survival of this cohort of patients is limited, and a number of important questions regarding this problem remain unresolved. Currently, the only effective method of treating bilateral renal cancer is nephro-preserving surgery in the volume of bilateral renal resection / nephrectomy with resection of the contralateral kidney in case of synchronous lesion or resection of a single kidney in case of metachronous lesion. This strategy avoids or reduces the risk of developing renal failure and its consequences after surgery. Conclusion. Nephro-preserving surgery for bilateral renal cell carcinoma is the only effective method to achieve satisfactory oncological results with a low incidence of complications.Keywords
