OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility and safety of same-day discharge (SDD) surgery after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in patients with small renal tumors.
BACKGROUND: During robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), renal artery clamping is necessary to optimize the surgical field. However, renal artery clamping can induce renal blood flow reduction and postoperative renal dysfunction. Papaverine is u...
Background and objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the association between warm ischemic time (WIT) and postoperative renal function using Trifecta achievement in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who underwent robotic (RAPN) or laparosco...
Robotic surgery has become widely used in the field of urology. We experienced concurrent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for the complex cases of synchronous primary cancers. Concurrent RARP ...
INTRODUCTION: Preoperative prediction of surgical difficulty of partial nephrectomy (PN) is essential to minimize the perioperative complications and to achieve a good surgical outcome. Recently, various scoring systems have been used to evaluate the...
Robot-assisted donor nephrectomy (RDN) is increasingly used due to its advantages such as its precision and reduced learning curve when compared to laparoscopic techniques. Concerns remain among surgeons regarding possible longer warm ischemia time. ...

OBJECTIVES: Martini et al. developed a nomogram to predict significant (>25%) renal function loss after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and identified four risk categories. We aimed to externally validate Martini's nomogram on a large, national, m...
CONTEXT: The development of a tailored, patient-specific medical and surgical approach is becoming object of intense research. In kidney oncologic surgery, where a clear understanding of case-specific surgical anatomy is considered a key point to opt...
