Article Synopsis
- Conversions from robot-assisted partial nephrectomy to more invasive surgeries happen in about 1-5% of cases, and this study looks at what could predict these conversions.
- The research analyzed 2,549 patients operated on by 25 surgeons, finding a 3.5% conversion rate linked to factors like older age, higher BMI, tumor size, and the surgeon’s experience.
- The study concludes that both patient characteristics and surgical expertise significantly impact the likelihood of conversion, suggesting that better training could enhance outcomes and allow for more kidney-sparing procedures.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the presence of proliferative lesions throughout the body. Management of TSC is challenging because patients have a multifaceted systemic illness with prominent neurological and developmental impact as well as potentially severe kidney, heart and lung phenotypes; however, every organ system can be involved. Adequate care for patients with TSC requires a coordinated effort involving a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and support staff.

Objectives: The current evidence and experience of RAKT was investigated from an international and German perspective.
Background: Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction in renal surgery offers significant benefits in planning of the operation itself, in patient education and training fellows.
Objective: The goal was to study the possible application and use of 3D reconstruction in modern renal surgery.
Methods: A literature search in PubMed using keywords "3D" and "renal surgery" within the last 10 years of publication was performed.
