A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Comparison of Outcomes of Robot-Assisted versus Open Partial Nephrectomy in Clinical T1 Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has been increasingly used for renal cell carcinoma in recent years. But the advantages of RARN over open partial nephrectomy (OPN) are still controversial.

Methods

We searched the articles between 1997 and 2021 in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and EMbase databases. The parameters were perioperative outcomes including operating time (OT), warm ischemic time (WIT), estimated blood loss (EBL), positive surgical margin (PSM), preoperative and postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), length of stay (LOS), and intraoperative and postoperative complications. Stata 13.0 software was used for the meta-analysis.

Results

Seven studies with 2,646 patients (1,285 in RAPN vs. 1,361 in OPN) were in
