Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) as outpatient surgery in patients with renal masses.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed RAPN performed by a single surgeon at an academic medical center from July 2018 to June 2019 and identified those individual patients who were discharged on the same day. These cases were then compared to a concurrent inpatient RAPN group. Relationships with outcome analyzed using Fisher's exact test and Student's t test.
Results: Twenty-three of 84 RAPNs (27.4%) were performed as ambulatory. Mean age was 57.4 years. Average tumor size was 2.24 cm. The mean total operative time was 99.4 minutes. Average estimated blood loss was 51.0 mL. When compared to the cohort of patients who stayed overnight, on multivariate analysis, the tumor size (2.24 ± 0.71 vs 3.65 ± 1.55 cm, P <0.001), and operative time (99.5 ± 25.1 vs 131.2 ± 30.8 minutes, P <0.001) were less in ambulatory cases. No differences were seen in regards to Charlson comorbidity index, age, gender, body mass index, estimated blood loss, or surgical approach. Within 90 days of postoperative period, the readmission rate for the entire cohort was 0.
Conclusion: RAPN can be performed safely as ambulatory in select patients with comparable outcome without complication or hospital readmission.

The main aim of this meta-analysis is to assess and compare the impact of two different surgical approaches, transperitoneal and retroperitoneal, on perioperative outcomes in robotic partial nephrectomy. A systematic search of MEDLINE, PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Database was conducted to identify relevant studies published between January 2000 and January 2025. Included were nine non-randomized controlled trials with a total of 2420 patients with matching propensity scores.

Objectives: The objective is to compare the learning curves between two pioneer and three second-generation surgeons for RAPN in terms of WIT, CD and positive surgical margins.
Materials And Methods: The charts of consecutive RAPNs of three centres were reviewed from the UroCCR prospective database. The experience was assessed by a regression model for each group.

Objectives: To develop a predictive tool to assist in predicting the risk of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).
Methods: A retrospective review was performed on the prospectively maintained, IRB-approved database to identify all consecutive patients who underwent RAPN between 2008 and 2023. Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), horseshoe kidneys, solitary kidneys, and previous renal transplant recipients were excluded.
