In conclusion, the primary aim of PN, from an oncological perspective, is to secure negative margins. Based
on our prospectively maintained dataset, tumor’s (higher PADUA score and, in particular, collecting system
tumor compression) and surgical (imperative indication, SIB score > 2 and off-clamp approach) features
represent the main drivers for PSMs. Further study remains necessary to assess the implication of PSMs on
survival outcomes.
