Abstract

BACKGROUND: Minimal literature describes the impact of hilar control on the progression to chronic kidney disease (pCKD) after robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) in solitary kidneys (SK). The aim of this study was to compare purely off-clamp (ocRPN) vs. on-clamp robotic partial nephrectomy (onRPN) in SK and to identify predictors of pCKD at two high-volume centers.
