To identify preoperative characteristics in patients with renal masses that influence operative time during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and evaluate the relationship between operative time and length of stay (LOS), complication rates, and overall outcome. We queried our institutional database to identify a cohort of patients who underwent RAPN by two experienced robotic surgeons between 2012 and 2019. A multivariable regression model was developed to analyze operative time, LOS, and any grade complication within 30 days postoperatively using the bootstrap resampling technique.

Objective: To understand potential harms associated with delaying resection of small renal masses (SRMs) in patients ultimately treated, and whether these patients have factors associated with adverse pathology.

Methods: Patients with SRMs (≤4cm) who underwent surgical resection at our institution (2009-2015) were classified as undergoing early resection or initial surveillance with delayed resection (defined by a time from presentation to intervention of at least 6mo). Demographic and clinical variables were compared among groups.
