What is another word for nephron-sparing surgery?
Pronunciation: [nˈɛfɹɒnspˈe͡əɹɪŋ sˈɜːd͡ʒəɹi] (IPA) 
Nephron-sparing surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to preserve as much functional kidney tissue as possible, while removing any cancerous or non-functioning tissue. There are several synonyms for this type of surgery, including partial nephrectomy, kidney-sparing surgery, and partial kidney removal. These procedures are often recommended for patients with small or early-stage kidney tumors, as it can help prevent the need for a full kidney removal and reduce the risk of complications, such as chronic kidney disease. By preserving healthy kidney tissue, patients may also have better long-term outcomes and a reduced risk of future kidney problems.
