From early nephrectomies carried out in 1990s, radical nephrectomy nowadays reaches a high diffusion between surgeons and finds specific indications. In 2014 The European Association of Urology built a Renal Cell Carcinoma Guideline Panel and created evidence-based recommendations [1]. Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy has the same oncological outcomes of open approach, and it is the gold standard for T2 renal tumors.
