The main reasons for dissatisfaction are the subjective loss of penile length and glans' flaccidity.

Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) outcomes might be importantly affected by increasing surgical experience (EXP). The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of EXP on warm ischemia time (WIT), presence of at least one Clavien-Dindo ≥2 postoperative complication (CD ≥ 2), and positive surgical margins (PSMs) to define the learning curve for RAPN. We evaluated 457 consecutive patients diagnosed with a cT1-T2 renal mass were evaluated.
