Comparison of robotic-assisted and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy based on the PADUA score and the predictive value of the PADUA score and the Mayo Adhesive Probability score for postoperative complications: a single-center retrospective study.

Purpose: This study compared perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) through the PADUA score as well as assessed the predictive value of the PADUA score and the Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score for postoperative complications.

Methods: Totally 196 patients suffering from RAPN or LPN for renal tumors were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were categorized by PADUA score (low-, moderate-, high-complexity) and MAP score (low-, intermediate-, high-grade).
