The application of PADUA scoring system for predicting complications of laparoscopic renal cryoablation.PURPOSE
 To evaluate the clinical application of preoperative aspects and dimensions used for anatomical (PADUA) scoring system in predicting perioperative surgical outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic cryoablation (LCA).


 Renal tumors were categorized into low- (6-7), moderate- (8-9), and high-complexity (10-13) groups according to PADUA indices.  The estimated blood loss during LCA was associated with PADUA score.  Higher grade of PADUA scores was significantly correlated with the increase incidence of IOC and POC.  The PADUA score was an independent predictive factor for POC, and the patients with moderate and high PADUA scores had an over sixfold and 17-fold higher risk compared to the patients with low scores, respectively.


 Our findings demonstrated, for the first time, the PADUA scoring system is an efficient assessment tool for predicting the perioperative complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic renal cryoablation.
