Robotic vs. open partial cytoreductive nephrectomy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: adverse in-hospital outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To test for adverse in-hospital outcomes after robotic (RPCN) vs. open partial cytoreductive nephrectomy (OPCN).

Methods

RPCN and OPCN patients were retrospectively identified within the National Inpatient Sample database (2008-2019). Propensity score matching (PSM, ratio 1:2) and multivariable logistic regression models (LRM) were used.

Results

Of 491 patients, 139 (28%) underwent RPCN vs. 352 (72%) OPCN. RPCN-rate increased from 4.2 to 42.5% over time (p < 0.001). RPCN patients exhibited similar age, comorbidity and race/ethnicity distribution relative to their OPCN counterparts. After 1:2 PSM, all 139 RPCN and 278 of 352 (79%) OPCN patients were included. Relative to OPCN, RPCN patients exhibited lower rates in four of 10 examined adverse in-hospital outc
