Student Ratings & Reviews
It would have been insightful if someone explained how to reflect on the surgical operation
I learnt a lot about partial nephrectomies in general and some of the dangers regarding surgery, in terms of damage to surrounding blood vessel, the psoas muscle, spleen, danger of infection or cancer spreading, etc.
