Purpose: To review what imaging findings determine if a renal mass is amenable to partial nephrectomy To identify what needs to be imaged and communicated to the urologist during intra-operative scanning To show normal post-operative imaging findings and common post-operative complications To review the interventional radiologist's role in post-operative treatment complications      

 Preoperative imaging for partial nephrectomy: • Indications • Modalities and Technique • Pertinent findings to report Intra-operative ultrasound: • Technique • Pertinent findings to communicate to the urologist Post-operative imaging: • Normal post- operative findings • Common complications Radiologist's Role in Managing Complications: • Embolization of pseudoaneurysms • Drainage of collections • Ablation of residual tumor  

Major teaching points: 1. Imaging criteria for partial nephrectomy 2. Important imaging findings during intra-operative ultrasound 3. Partial nephrectomy complications and interventional treatment options
