Nephron sparing surgery or partial nephrectomy has been employed ever since in cases of renal tumors with an aim to preserve the function of residual kidney. Lately, there has been increasing adoption in robot-assisted techniques for partial nephrectomy. However, renal surgeries of any kind have always been a hazard for postoperative vascular complications owing to high vascularity of the renal tissues, of which renal artery pseudoaneurysm is one of the most fatal complications. We present a case series where highly super-selective embolization rescues the patient and augments the nephron sparing nature of the precise robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.
