Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy with minimum follow-up of 5 years: A multi-center prospective study in Japan.

Objectives: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy is widely performed for small renal masses, achieving excellent perioperative and intermediate oncological outcomes. However, long-term oncological, functional, and quality of life outcomes after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate quality of life at 1 year and oncological and functional outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy after a minimum follow-up of 5 years.
