Can someone tell me how many surgeries to remove part of the kidney
(also called "partial nephrectomy") are performed each year in Europe?
I am not interested in the number of total nephrectomies (removal of
the entire kidney) -- just partial kidney removal that is used to treat
patients with small cancers and those having just one kidney.
Specifically, I need to know the the number of "partial nephrectomies"
performed each year in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. If
you can not find one of the countries, it will be okay to give the
rest that you can find.
If you have any questions or need any clarification, just ask and I
will be happy to answer.
Thank you very much! |
