Abstract: Nephrectomy remains the standard of care for patients with suspected renal mass despite studies proving that nephrectomy as an independent risk factor for developing chronic renal insufficiency. The indications for nephrectomy depend on the type of disease, extent of renal damage, status of the second kidney and the patient’s general condition. The aim of this study is to review the pathological spectrum with vascular changes of total or partial nephrectomy cases for benign renal lesions underwent at our tertiary care referral institute in Bangalore, South India.
