Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to validate the Yonsei nomogram, which predicts the risk of developing new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy for renal masses, using data from 3526 patients across 23 centers from 2000 to 2018.
- - Findings indicated that 19.4% of patients developed new-onset CKD, with a 5-year CKD-free progression rate of 77.9%; the nomogram showed increasing accuracy in predicting CKD stages over time with AUC values ranging from 0.69 to 0.78.
- - The results highlighted strong calibration of the nomogram, making it a useful tool for estimating individual CKD risk during long
Objectives: To investigate the impact of postoperative time to nadir of estimated glomerular filtration rate on renal functional changes after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.
Methods: From 2006 to 2015, 287 patients with renal mass who underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in a referral center were analyzed. The cohort was evaluated based on their time to develop nadir: group 1 (no nadir), group 2 (<48 h) and group 3 (≥48 h).

Background: Off-clamp robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is associated with increased intraoperative blood loss compared with on-clamp technique. Our aim was to demonstrate our surgical technique and to determine which tumors are ideally suited for this technique.
Methods: Sixty-two patients who underwent off-clamp RAPN for renal tumor between 2006 and 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.
In pursuit of continuing medical education in robotic surgery, several forms of training have been implemented. This variable application of curriculum has brought acquisition of skills in a heterogeneous and unstandardized fashion from different parts of the world. Recently, efforts have been made to provide cost effective and well-structured curricula with the aim of bridging the gap between formal fellowship training and short courses.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients who underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for cystic (n = 32) and solid (n = 263) renal masses at Severance Hospital, Seoul, Korea. The primary outcome was assessment of perioperative safety for cystic tumor.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 800 Asian patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, focusing on 5-year oncological outcomes.
- A significant portion of the patients was classified as high-risk, with biochemical recurrence seen in 22.9% and a noteworthy incidence of positive surgical margins at 36.6%.
- The results showed strong survival rates, with 76.4% for biochemical recurrence-free survival and 96.7% for cancer-specific survival, indicating that this surgical approach is effective even for high-risk patients.
We present a 61-year-old man who was diagnosed with synchronous prostate cancer and suspicious renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney, treated with combined Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). The combined approach using RS-RARP and RAPN is technically feasible and safe surgical option for treatment of concomitant prostate cancer and suspicious renal cell carcinoma.
