Abstract Background Adherent perinephric fat (APF), characterized by inflammatory fat surrounding the kidney, can limit the isolation of renal tumors and increase the operative difficulty in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). The aim of this study was to investigate the predictors of APF and its impact on perioperative outcomes during LPN. Methods A total of 215 consecutive patients undergoing LPN for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from January 2017 to June 2019 at our institute were included. We divided these patients into two groups according to the presence of APF. Radiographic data were retrospectively collected from preoperative cross-sectional imaging. The perioperative clinical parameters were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the predictive factors of APF. Results APF was identified in 41 patients (19.1%) at the time of LPN. Univariate analysis demonstrated that APF was significantly correlated with the male gender (P = 0.001), higher body mass index (P = 0.002), lower preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (P = 0.004), greater posterior perinephric fat thickness (P< 0.001), greater perinephric stranding (P< 0.001), and higher Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score (P< 0.001). The MAP score (P< 0.001) was the only variable that remained an independent predictor for APF in multivariate analysis. We found that patients with APF had longer operative times (P< 0.001), warm ischemia times (P = 0.001), and greater estimated blood loss (P = 0.003) than those without APF. However, there were no significant differences in surgical approach, transfusion rate, length of postoperative stay, complication rate, or surgical margin between the two groups. Conclusions Several specific clinical and radiographic factors including the MAP score can predict APF. The presence of APF is associated with an increased operative time, warm ischemia time, and greater estimated blood loss but has no impact on other perioperative outcomes in LPN.

497 Background: The decision to perform a partial nephrectomy (PN) relies largely upon the complexity of the renal mass and its surrounding anatomy. An often encountered intraoperative challenge in PN is the adherent perinephric fat (APF). The anticipation of this feature may improve preoperative risk assessment and aid in decision-making for the surgical approach. We sought to develop and externally validate a score that predicts for APF based on preoperative clinical and radiological prognostic factors. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 495 consecutive patients that underwent open or minimally invasive PN. APF was defined as the presence of “dense”, “adherent”, or “sticky” perinephric fat at time of dissection by the surgeon and this did not required subcapsular dissection for tumor isolation. A score model was developed using multivariate logistic regression analysis. This score was further validated using an external data set with 285 patients. Discrimination and calibration were assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and the Hosmer–Lemeshow statistic, respectively. Results: Among the 495 patients, 95 (19%) patients presented with APF. On multivariate analyses, diabetes mellitus (p = 0.009), perinephric fat thickness (p < 0.001) and perinephric stranding (p < 0.001) were predictors of encountering APF in PN. A risk score ranging from 0 to 4, was developed based on these three variables to predict for APF. Among the 285 patients in the validation cohort, 41(14.3%) presented with APF. The score demonstrated good discrimination of 0.82 and 0.84 for the development and validation cohort, respectively. The model did not show a statistically significant lack of calibration (p-values = 0.98, 0.35). Moreover, predicted probabilities of APF based on a 0.5 threshold yielded a specificity of 92.3 and 92.2 in the development and validation cohorts, respectively. Conclusions: The score can accurately predict the presence of APF in patients with small renal mass planning to undergo PN. This score could aid current algorithms of preoperative risk assessment and impact surgical approach.
