Nephron-sparing surgery can permit functional preservation of the kidney in carefully selected patients. We report nephron-sparing surgery in two patients with renal tumours > or = 5 cm. Both patients were successfully treated, with kidney salvage facilitated through the use of the fibrinogen- and thrombin-coated collagen sponge, TachoSil (Nycomed UK Ltd, UK).
