Abstract

BACKGROUND: Despite efforts aimed at preserving renal function, the functional decline after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is not negligible. To address the risk of intraparenchymal vessel injuries during renorrhaphy, with consequent loss of functional renal parenchyma, we introduced a new surgical technique for RAPN.
