Accuracy of R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score in predicting perioperative outcomes of minimally invasive partial nephrectomy: impact of different surgical techniques.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have demonstrated the ability of the R.E.N.A.L. (Radius, Exophytic/Endophytic, Nearness, Anterior/Posterior, Location) nephrometry score to predict perioperative outcomes, but those studies have not considered the impact of different surgical approaches on predictive accuracy. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate whether different minimally invasive surgical techniques affect the accuracy of the R.E.N.A.L. score in predicting perioperative outcomes, particularly the achievement of trifecta.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 623 patients who underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) or laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) in our clinical institution. Correlations between the R.E.N.A.L. score and oper
