This study was conducted to evaluate whether robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) is superior to laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) with regard to warm ischemia time and complications and, in addition, to report our novel technique of suturing in partial nephrectomy (PN). This was a prospective study carried out over a period of six years at our institute. A single surgeon performed PNs laparoscopically (17) and with robotic assistance (16). Only exophytic tumors were included and a novel technique of knotless and bolster-less suturing using Hem-o-loc clips was used to close the renal defect. There was no difference in intra-operative and post-operative blood loss between the two groups. However, LPN patients had significantly longer mean warm ischemia time (24.1 vs. 30.1 min, P <0.001) and operating time (157.5 vs. 192.5 min, P <0.001). Also, hospital stay was comparable between the two groups. RALPN is technically easier and also safer than LPN because of its advanced degrees of freedom, decreased warm ischemia time and reduction in the total operating time. However, these observations need further validation by larger and randomized trials. Based on our study, we recommend RALPN wherever there is availability of robot and if cost is not an issue.

Synergy of zinc oxide nanoparticles to losartan attenuates kidney injury induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction through modulation of the TNF-α/IL6 and BAX/BCL2 signaling pathways.

Aim: Although the relief of ureteral obstruction seems to be a radical treatment for obstructive uropathy (OU), progressive kidney damage is the result because of the associated increased apoptosis and fibrosis. Therefore, it is urgent to find a complementary renoprotective therapy against partially obstructed uropathy cascades. Thus, this study investigated the renoprotective effects of both losartan (LOS) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) in partial unilateral ureteral obstruction (PUUO).

Objective: To compare operative and oncological outcomes, as well as the risk of postoperative complications in patients who underwent transperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal tumours located either posteriorly or anterolaterally.
Methods: Retrospective, consecutive study including 451 patients who underwent transperitoneal RAPN for non-metastatic, localised renal tumours from May 2016 to April 2023. Operative data included duration of the procedure, warm ischaemia time, and blood loss; oncological data included surgical margins and recurrence; and 90-day postoperative complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates parenchymal volume analysis (PVA) as a potential alternative to nuclear renal scan (NRS) for assessing split renal function (SRF) before and after partial nephrectomy (PN) with warm ischemia.
- Preoperatively, PVA showed a strong correlation with NRS findings, indicating its reliability for SRF assessment (49.4% vs. 50.0%, P = .501).
- Results suggest that while PVA is consistent with NRS preoperatively, the efficacy of PVA remains uncertain for post-operative SRF evaluation after PN, indicating a need for further investigation.

Background: To compare the clinicopathological, perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes of completely endophytic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients who underwent partial nephrectomy (PN) with or without preoperative hyperaccuracy CT three-dimensional (HACT3D) reconstruction.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 154 completely endophytic RCC patients treated with PN at our medical center from January 2018 to December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they received preoperative HACT3D reconstruction.
