Robotic Assisted Partial Nephrectomy Articles

We systematically reviewed world literature and compare oncological outcomes, morbidity, renal function and peri-operative outcome between cryotherapy (CA) and robotic assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for suspected renal malignancy.

To compare outcomes of minimally invasive radical nephrectomy (MIS-RN) and robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in clinical T2a renal mass (T2aRM).

Retrospective, multicenter, propensity score-matched (PSM) comparison of RAPN and MIS-RN for T2aRM (T2aN0M0).

The background of the study was to examine potential causes for a positive surgical margin (PSM) and develop strategies to improve surgical outcomes. A retrospective review of consecutive partial nephrectomy cases for renal cell carcinoma was performed.

The learning curve for achieving desirable perioperative outcomes in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has not been well studied. Information is available regarding "trifecta" outcomes of no complications, no positive margins, warm ischemia time (WIT) of ≤25 minutes, and a ≤15% decrease in postoperative glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
