Impact of renal sinus protrusions on achieving trifecta in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this work is to assess the relationship between the morphological characteristics of a central tumour and the perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).

Subjects and methods

We retrospectively analysed the data from 186 patients with central tumours involving the renal sinus, who underwent RAPN in a single-centre study between February 2015 and June 2022. All cases were assigned a RENAL nephrometry score based on preoperative images. The shape of the protruding portion of the tumour was classified into four types: 'flat', 'spherical', 'single-hump', and 'complex-hump', and was independently assessed by two readers. The trifecta is defined as the warm ischemia time within 25 min, negative surgical margins, and no major post
