The application of internal suspension technique in retroperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with a new robotic system KangDuo Surgical Robot-01: Initial experience.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the feasibility of internal suspension technique in retroperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (rRAPN) with a new robotic platform called KangDuo Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) system (Suzhou KangDuo Robot Co., Ltd., Suzhou, China) and discuss its surgical technique.

Methods

A 44-year-old male patient was admitted with a 2.5 cm tumor on dorsolateral upper pole of the left kidney. The R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score of this patient was 4x. This patient underwent rRAPN with KD-SR-01. The perinephric fat between the tumor and Gerota's fascia was preserved, which was used for internal suspension traction during tumor resection. Postoperative follow-up data were collected.

Results

The surgery was successfully carried out with a duration
