Robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy for upper urinary tract tumor: initial experience with the use of novel surgical robot system, hinotori.

ABSTRACT: The hinotori surgical robot system is a promising robotic platform that has been recently introduced into routine clinical practice. The aim of this study was to report our initial experience of robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy (RANU) using hinotori. This study included a total of eight patients with upper urinary tract tumor (UUTT) who underwent RANU using hinotori via the transperitoneal approach. In this series, nephrectomy was initially performed at the kidney direction stage followed by distal ureterectomy and bladder cuff excision at the bladder direction stage without repositioning of patient or port. Lymphadenectomy was performed at either stage. Median age, body mass index, and tumor diameter were 76 years, 21.7 kg/m2, and 13 mm, respectively. Of eight patients, three wer
