Abstract

OBJECTIVES: We retrospectively investigated if robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) contributes to a decrease in resected parenchymal volume (RPV), an increase in postoperative parenchymal volume (PPV), and an improvement of postoperative renal function when compared with conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) using a three-dimensional image analysis system.
