Abstract
BACKGROUND: Ablative therapies (AT) are increasingly being offered to patients with kidney tumors. In cases of failure or local relapse, salvage surgery may be required. Such procedures often require an open approach, are difficult and have received little attention in the literature. We aim to evaluate the feasibility of salvage robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (sRAPN) after AT.
