Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on the average 3-day hospital stay after robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and aimed to identify which patients could safely undergo the procedure on an outpatient basis without significant complications.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 3,342 patients who had RAPN between 2010 and 2021, finding that overall complications occurred in almost 15% of cases, with significant complications occurring in about 3.6%.
  • Key risk factors for early significant complications within 72 hours post-surgery included longer clamping times and higher ASA scores, leading to the conclusion that patients with ASA scores greater than 2 and a clamping time under 20 minutes could be good candidates for outpatient surgery.

Background: In 2021, the EAU Guidelines implemented a novel, expert opinion-based follow-up scheme, with a three-risk-category system for clear cell (cc) and non-cc renal cell carcinoma (non-ccRCC) after surgery with curative intent. We aimed to validate the novel follow-up scheme and provide data-driven recurrence estimates according to risk groups, to confirm or implement the oncologic surveillance strategy.

Methods: We identified 5,320 patients from a prospectively maintained database involving 28 French referral centers.

Background And Objective: A hilar location for a renal tumour is sometimes viewed as a limiting factor for safe partial nephrectomy. Our aim was to evaluate perioperative, oncological, and functional outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for hilar tumours (RAPN-H) in comparison to RAPN for nonhilar tumours (RAPN-NH).

Methods: We conducted an observational, multicentre cohort study using prospectively collected data from the French Research Network on Kidney Cancer (UroCCR).

Background And Objective: Data regarding open conversion (OC) during minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for renal tumors are reported from big databases, without precise description of the reason and management of OC. The objective of this study was to describe the rate, reasons, and perioperative outcomes of OC in a cohort of patients who underwent MIS for renal tumor initially. The secondary objective was to find the factors associated with OC.

Article Synopsis
  • This study looked at how two types of kidney surgery (robotic and open) worked for obese patients.
  • Researchers found that the robotic surgery had fewer complications and required a shorter hospital stay compared to open surgery.
  • However, both surgery types had similar long-term results regarding the patient's health after the surgery.
