Robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy vs. laparoscopic and open partial nephrectomy A single-site, two-surgeon, retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In 2019, our center attempted to transition all partial nephrectomies (PNs) to robotic-assisted laparoscopic PN (RALPN). The purpose of this study was to compare RALPN outcomes to laparoscopic PN (LPN) and open PN (OPN) at our institution, as there is limited literature from Canadian centers.

Methods

In this single-center, two-surgeon, retrospective cohort study, we compared RALPN outcomes during the early phase of our robotics program to OPN and LPN performed just before the introduction of RALPN.

Results

A total of 106 patients underwent OPN, 83 LPN, and 82 RALPN during the study period. Median RALPN REN AL score was 7 vs. 6 for LPN (p<0.05) and 8 for OPN (p=0.10). Median RALPN length of stay (LOS) was two days vs. three and four days for LPN and OPN (p
