ABSTRACT = {Partial nephrectomy (PN) has gained popularity over the past 
two decades as an alternative to radical nephrectomy (RN) in 
patients with small renal masses. Morbidity and mortality 
from PN have been shown to be lower than from RN, while 
oncologic outcomes have been shown to be equivalent for 
tumors < 7 cm. PN has become increasingly popular in 
academic centers, but the general urologic community 
continues to lag behind. The reason for this is not known, 
but may be related to the relatively high complication rate, 
including delayed complications associated with inadequate 
closure. Here we describe a novel PN closure technique that 
provides additional strength and hemostasis by incorporating 
bovine pericardium.},
