Novel Intraoperative Navigation Using Ultra-High-Resolution CT in Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy.

ABSTRACT: To assess the perioperative and short-term functional outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) with intraoperative navigation using an ultra-high-resolution computed tomography (UHR-CT) scanner, we retrospectively analyzed 323 patients who underwent RAPN using an UHR-CT or area-detector CT (ADCT). Perioperative outcomes and the postoperative preservation ratio of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were compared. After the propensity score matching, we evaluated 99 patients in each group. Although the median warm ischemia time (WIT) was less than 25 min in both groups, it was significantly shorter in the UHR-CT group than in the ADCT group (15 min vs. 17 min, p = 0.032). Moreover, the estimated blood loss (EBL) was significantly lower in the UHR-CT group than in the AD
