Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic surgery is associated with less tissue manipulation and earlier recovery with minimal incision. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term clinical outcomes between robotic-assisted donor nephrectomy (RDN) and open mini-incision donor nephrectomy (ODN). METHODS From 2016 to 2019, 141 cases involving RDN were analysed. Patient outcomes were compared with those of 191 patients who underwent ODN from 2010 to 2015. Demographics, operation factors, perioperative outcomes, and complications were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS The RDN group presented with less blood loss than the ODN group (p = 0.023). The length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the RDN group than in the ODN group (p < 0.005). The overall rate of complications was low and there was no significant difference in complication rates between the groups. CONCLUSION The robotic approach has benefits over the traditional open approach, including shorter length of hospital stay and reduced intraoperative blood loss.

Abstract
Objective: Complete endophytic renal tumors (CERTs) are the most challenging for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). This study aimed to determine the impact of CERT on outcomes of RAPN. Methods: All RAPN cases for localized renal tumor undertaken at Yokohama City University Hospital between 2016 and 2023 were enrolled. Tumor characteristics and surgical, functional, and oncologic outcomes of RAPN were compared between CERT and non-CERT groups. Results: Consecutive 666 patients were enrolled, and 76 (11.4%) were identified as CERT (3 points of "E" score). CERT showed smaller tumor diameters (p < 0.001), more predominant hilar tumor (p = 0.029), higher "N" scores (p < 0.001) and "L" scores (p = 0.006) than non-CERT. The CERT group showed longer warm ischemia times (p < 0.001), more frequent positive surgical margins (p = 0.028), and relatively lower trifecta achievement rates (p = 0.101) than the non-CERT group. In multivariable analysis, the CERT was an independent predictor for trifecta achievement but not for pentafecta achievement. Conclusions: CERT was associated with longer warm ischemia time, positive surgical margin, and lower trifecta achievement, but not with surgical complication and pentafecta achievement in RAPN. This study suggested that CERT had limited influence on long-term renal functional preservation; however, it had strong impacts on short-term surgical outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) to determine the advantages and disadvantages of open (OPN), laparoscopic (LPN), and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) with particular attention to intraoperative, immediate postoperative, as well as longer-term functional and oncological outcomes. METHODS A systematic review was performed as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-NMA guidelines. Binary data were compared using odds ratios (ORs). Mean differences (MDs) were used for continuous variables. ORs and MDs were extracted from the articles to compare the efficacy of the various surgical approaches. Statistical validity is guaranteed when the 95% credible interval does not include 1. RESULTS In total, there were 31 studies included in the NMA with a combined 7869 patients. Of these, 33.7% (2651/7869) underwent OPN, 20.8% (1636/7869) LPN, and 45.5% (3582/7689) RAPN. There was no difference for either LPN or RAPN as compared to OPN in ischaemia time, intraoperative complications, positive surgical margins, operative time or trifecta rate. The estimated blood loss (EBL), postoperative complications and length of stay were all significantly reduced in RAPN when compared with OPN. The outcomes of RAPN and LPN were largely similar except the significantly reduced EBL in RAPN. CONCLUSION This systematic review and NMA suggests that RAPN is the preferable operative approach for patients undergoing surgery for lower-staged RCC.

Abstract
Objective Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has become widely used for treatment of renal cell carcinoma and it is expanding in the field of complex renal masses. The aim of this systematic review was to analyze outcomes of RAPN for completely endophytic renal masses, large tumors (cT2-T3), renal cell carcinoma in solitary kidney, recurrent tumors, completely endophytic and hilar masses, and simultaneous and multiple tumors. Methods A comprehensive search in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases was performed in December 2022 for English language papers. The primary endpoint was to evaluate the role of RAPN in the setting of each category of complex renal masses considered. The secondary endpoint was to evaluate the surgical and functional outcomes. Results After screening 1250 records, 43 full-text manuscripts were selected, comprising over 8500 patients. Twelve and thirteen studies reported data for endophytic and hilar renal masses, respectively. Five and three studies reported outcomes for cT2-T3 and solitary kidney patients, respectively. Four studies focused on redo-RAPN for recurrent tumors. Two studies investigated simultaneous bilateral renal masses and five reports focused on multiple tumor excision in ipsilateral kidney. Conclusion Over the past decade, evidence supporting the use of RAPN for the most challenging nephron-sparing surgery indications has continuously grown. Although limitations remain including study design and lack of detailed long-term functional and oncological outcomes, the adoption of RAPN for the included advanced indications is associated with favorable surgical outcomes with good preservation of renal function without compromising the oncological result. Certainly, a higher likelihood of complication might be expected when facing extremely challenging cases. However, none of these indications should be considered per se an exclusion criterion for performing RAPN. Ultimately, a risk-adapted approach should be employed.

Abstract
The incidence of renal cancer has increased over the past several decades, but mortality has declined. This is thought to be related in part to earlier detection of renal masses which portend excellent 5-year survival rates. Management of small renal masses and localized disease include both nonsurgical and surgical options. The choice of intervention is ultimately based on comprehensive evaluation and shared decision-making. This article provides a comprehensive review of the current surgical management options for localized renal cancer.

Abstract
Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is increasingly being used for the complex surgical management of renal masses. The comparison of RAPN with open partial nephrectomy (OPN) has not yet led to a unified conclusion with regard to perioperative outcomes. To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature on the perioperative outcomes of RAPN compared with OPN. We performed a systematic search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library database for randomized control trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs that compare OPN to RAPN. The primary outcomes included perioperative, functional and oncologic. The odds ratio (OR) and weighted mean difference (WMD) were applied for the comparison of dichotomous and continuous variables with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Five studies, comprising 936 patients, were included in the meta-analysis. Our findings indicated that there were no significant differences in blood loss, minor complication rate, eGFR decline from baseline, positive surgical margin, and ischemia time between OPN and RAPN. However, RAPN was associated with a shorter hospital stay (WMD 1.64 days, 95% CI - 1.17 to 2.11; p < 0.00001), lower overall complication rate (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.21-2.45; p < 0.002), lower transfusion rate (OR 2.64, 95% CI 1.39-5.02; p = 0.003) and lower major complication rate (OR 1.76, 95% CI 1.11-2.79; p < 0.02) compared to OPN. Additionally, the operation time for OPN was shorter than that for RAPN (WMD - 10.77 min, 95% CI - 18.49 to - 3.05, p = 0.006). In comparison with OPN, RAPN exhibits better results in terms of hospital stay, overall complications, blood transfusion rate, and major complications, with no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss, minor complications, PSM, ischemia time, and short-term postoperative eGFR decline. However, the operation time of OPN is slightly shorter than that of RAPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ability to predict the risk of intraoperative adverse events (IOAEs) for patients undergoing partial nephrectomy (PN) can be of great clinical significance. OBJECTIVE To develop and internally validate a preoperative nomogram predicting IOAEs for robot-assisted PN (RAPN). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this observational study, data for demographic, preoperative, and postoperative variables for patients who underwent RAPN were extracted from the Vattikuti Collective Quality Initiative (VCQI) database. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS IOAEs were defined as the occurrence of intraoperative surgical complications, blood transfusion, or conversion to open surgery/radical nephrectomy. Backward stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of IOAEs. The nomogram was validated using bootstrapping, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and the goodness of fit. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to determine the clinical utility of the model. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Among the 2114 patients in the study cohort, IOAEs were noted in 158 (7.5%). Multivariable analysis identified five variables as independent predictors of IOAEs: RENAL nephrometry score (odds ratio [OR] 1.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.25); clinical tumor size (OR 1.01, 95% CI 1.001-1.024); PN indication as absolute versus elective (OR 3.9, 95% CI 2.6-5.7) and relative versus elective (OR 4.2, 95% CI 2.2-8); Charlson comorbidity index (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.05-1.30); and multifocal tumors (OR 8.8, 95% CI 5.4-14.1). A nomogram was developed using these five variables. The model was internally valid on bootstrapping and goodness of fit. The AUC estimated was 0.76 (95% CI 0.72-0.80). DCA revealed that the model was clinically useful at threshold probabilities >5%. Limitations include the lack of external validation and selection bias. CONCLUSIONS We developed and internally validated a nomogram predicting IOAEs during RAPN. PATIENT SUMMARY We developed a preoperative model than can predict complications that might occur during robotic surgery for partial removal of a kidney. Tests showed that our model is fairly accurate and it could be useful in identifying patients with kidney cancer for whom this type of surgery is suitable.

Abstract
PurposeTo develop and validate nomograms for pre-treatment prediction of malignant histology (MH) and unfavorable pathology (UP) in patients with endophytic renal tumors (ERTs).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical information of 3245 patients with ERTs accepted surgical treatment in our center. Eventually, 333 eligible patients were included and randomly enrolled into training and testing sets in a ratio of 7:3. We performed univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses to determine the independent risk factors of MH and UP in the training set and developed the pathological diagnostic models of MH and UP. The optimal model was used to construct a nomogram for MH and UP. The area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves (AUC), calibration curves and decision curve analyses (DCA) were used to evaluate the predictive performance of models.ResultsOverall, 172 patients with MH and 50 patients with UP were enrolled in the training set; and 74 patients with MH and 21 patients with UP were enrolled in the validation set. Sex, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), R score, N score and R.E.N.A.L. score were the independent predictors of MH; and BMI, NLR, tumor size and R score were the independent predictors of UP. Single-variable and multiple-variable models were constructed based on these independent predictors. Among these predictive models, the malignant histology-risk nomogram consisted of sex, NLR, R score and N score and the unfavorable pathology-risk nomogram consisted of BMI, NLR and R score performed an optimal predictive performance, which reflected in the highest AUC (0.842 and 0.808, respectively), the favorable calibration curves and the best clinical net benefit. In addition, if demographic characteristics and laboratory tests were excluded from the nomograms, only the components of the R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry Score system were included to predict MH and UP, the AUC decreased to 0.781 and 0.660, respectively (P=0.001 and 0.013, respectively).ConclusionIn our study, the pathological diagnostic models for predicting malignant and aggressive histological features for patients with ERTs showed outstanding predictive performance and convenience. The use of the models can greatly assist urologists in individualizing the management of their patients.

Partial Nephrectomy Versus Radical Nephrectomy for Endophytic Renal Tumors: Comparison of Operative, Functional, and Oncological Outcomes by Propensity Score Matching Analysis. Front Oncol 2022; 12:916018. [PMID: 35957884 PMCID: PMC9360524 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.916018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The study aimed to compare operative, functional, and oncological outcomes between partial nephrectomy (PN) and radical nephrectomy (RN) for entophytic renal tumors (ERTs) by propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Methods A total of 228 patients with ERTs who underwent PN or RN between August 2014 and December 2021 were assessed. A PSM in a 1:1 ratio was conducted to balance the differences between groups. Perioperative characteristics, renal functional, and oncological outcomes were compared between groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic and Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were used to determine the predictors of functional and survival outcomes. Results After PSM, 136 cases were matched to the PN group (n = 68) and the RN group (n = 68). Patients who underwent RN had shorter OT, less EBL, and lower high-grade complications (all p <0.05) relative to those who underwent PN. However, better perseveration of renal function was observed in the PN group, which was reflected in 48-h postoperative AKI (44.1% vs. 70.6%, p = 0.002), 1-year postoperative 90% eGFR preservation (45.6% vs. 22.1%, p = 0.004), and new-onset CKD Stage ≥III at last follow-up (2.9% vs. 29.4%, p <0.001). RN was the independent factor of short-term (OR, 2.812; 95% CI, 1.369–5.778; p = 0.005) and long-term renal function decline (OR, 10.242; 95% CI, 2.175–48.240; p = 0.003). Furthermore, PN resulted in a better OS and similar PFS and CSS as compared to RN (p = 0.042, 0.15, and 0.21, respectively). RN (OR, 7.361; 95% CI, 1.143–47.423; p = 0.036) and pT3 stage (OR, 4.241; 95% CI, 1.079–16.664; p = 0.039) were independent predictors of overall mortality. Conclusion Among patients with ERTs, although the PN group showed a higher incidence of high-grade complications than RN, when technically feasible and with experienced surgeons, PN is recommended for better preservation of renal function, longer OS, and similar oncological outcomes.

Clinical and oncological outcomes of open partial nephrectomy versus robot assisted partial nephrectomy over 15 years. J Robot Surg 2022; 17:519-526. [PMID: 35851947 DOI: 10.1007/s11701-022-01446-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Partial nephrectomy (PN) is the gold standard surgical treatment for localized kidney cancer. The objective of our study was to compare clinical and perioperative outcomes of open partial nephrectomy (OPN) and robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). We retrospectively collected all patients who underwent PN for kidney cancer between 2007 and 2019 at two French academic urology departments. Clinical and perioperative outcomes and complications were compared between the OPN group and the RAPN group. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared using the log-rank test. We included 405 patients. The maximum follow-up time was 13.6 years in the OPN group and 7.1 years in the RAPN group. The OPN group was associated with more blood loss and longer hospital stay (respectively, 287 ml vs. 62.1 ml; p < 0.001 and 8.54 days vs. 4.96 days; p < 0.001). Ischemia time was shorter in the OPN group (11.4 min vs. 16.9 min; p < 0.001). The rate of complications during hospitalization and after discharge from hospital was higher in the OPN group (respectively, n = 51 vs. 30; p = 0.031 and n = 31 vs. 14; p < 0.001). RFS and OS were similar in both groups. In our study, RAPN has better perioperative outcomes with shorter hospital stay and less blood loss but also fewer early and late complications. However, we did not find any difference in terms of RFS and OS.

Abstract
Introduction Outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) depend on tumor complexity, surgeon experience and patient profile among other variables. We aimed to study the perioperative outcomes of RAPN for patients with complex renal masses using the Vattikuti Collective Quality Initiative (VCQI) database that allowed evaluation of multinational data. Methods From the VCQI, we extracted data for all the patients who underwent RAPN with preoperative aspects and dimensions used for an anatomical (PADUA) score of ≥10. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to ascertain predictors of trifecta (absence of complications, negative surgical margins, and warm ischemia times [WIT] <25 min or zero ischemia) outcomes. Results Of 3,801 patients, 514 with PADUA scores ≥10 were included. The median operative time, WIT, and blood loss were 173 (range 45-546) min, 21 (range 0-55) min, and 150 (range 50-3500) ml, respectively. Intraoperative complications and blood transfusions were reported in 2.1% and 6%, respectively. In 8.8% of the patients, postoperative complications were noted, and surgical margins were positive in 10.3% of the patients. Trifecta could be achieved in 60.7% of patients. Clinical tumor size, duration of surgery, WIT, and complication rates were significantly higher in the group with a high (12 or 13) PADUA score while the trifecta was significantly lower in this group (48.4%). On multivariate analysis, surgical approach (retroperitoneal vs. transperitoneal) and high PADUA score (12/13) were identified as predictors of the trifecta outcomes. Conclusion RAPN may be a reasonable surgical option for patients with complex renal masses with acceptable perioperative outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Randomised controlled trials comparing robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and open PN (OPN) are lacking. Therefore, we aim to report the study protocol and a trial update for a randomised controlled feasibility trial comparing RAPN versus OPN for renal neoplasms. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The ROBOtic assisted versus conventional Open Partial nephrectomy II trial is designed as a single-centre, randomised, open-label, feasibility trial. Participation will be offered to patients with renal neoplasms and deemed feasible for both, OPN and RAPN. We aim to enrol 50 patients within 15 months using a 1:1 allocation ratio. The primary endpoint of the trial is feasibility of recruitment and will be successful if one third of eligible patients agree to participate. Secondary endpoints include perioperative results, health-related quality of life, inflammatory response as well as surgical ergonomics of the operating team. If the primary outcome, feasibility of recruitment, is successful, the secondary results of the trial will be used for planning a confirmative phase III trial. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval was obtained from the local institutional review board (Ethik-Kommission II at Heidelberg University: 2020-542N). Results will be made publicly available in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presented at appropriate congresses and social media. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04534998.

Predicting Strict Trifecta Outcomes after Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy: Comparison of RENAL, PADUA, and C-Index Scores. J Kidney Cancer VHL 2021; 8:1-12. [PMID: 34703725 PMCID: PMC8490181 DOI: 10.15586/jkcvhl.v8i4.183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 09/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Nephrometry scores are designed to characterize tumors and stratify the surgical complexity. It remains unclear as to which nephrometry score can accurately predict the surgical outcomes. We aimed to assess the utility of radius, exophytic/endophytic, nearness, anterior/posterior, location (RENAL), preoperative aspects and dimensions used for anatomic classifications (PADUA), and centrality index (C-index) nephrometry scores for predicting the strict Trifecta achievement from a single institution series robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). We retrospectively identified the prospectively maintained robotic surgery database records of 91 patients who underwent RAPN between June 2015 and September 2020 in Antalya Training and Research Hospital. The main outcome of the study was the achievement of strict Trifecta (negative surgical margin, no major urologic complications, warm ischemia time ≤25 min, and ≥85% preservation of estimated glomerular filtration rate). A multivariable analysis was performed to identify the factors of strict Trifecta success. The mean patient age was 55.82 ± 13.37 years with a median clinical tumor size of 3.5 cm (IQR 2.5–4.9). The median RENAL, PADUA, and C-index score were 7(IQR 6–8), 8(IQR 7–10), and 2.01(IQR 1.64–2.72), respectively. A strict Trifecta could be achieved in 54 patients (59.3%). Clinical tumor size (P = 0.011), RENAL risk groups (low:reference; intermediate; P = 0.040; high; P = 0.009), PADUA risk groups (low:reference; intermediate; P = 0.044; high; P = 0.001) and C-index risk groups (low:reference; high; P = 0.015) were the independent predictors of strict Trifecta attainment in the multivariate analysis. None of the nephrometry scores were a superior predictor compared to other nephrometry scores in comparative analysis. RENAL, PADUA, and C-index scores were all independent predictors of a strict Trifecta achievement. Our comprehensive comparison of the three scores identified that none of the nephrometry scores proved to be inferior to others nephrometry scores.

Abstract
PURPOSE The predictors of trifecta achievement in partial nephrectomy (PN) were poorly inquired and remained a controversial area of discovery. To evaluate predictive factors of trifecta achievement in patients undergoing PN. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature search was performed to identify relevant articles. Only studies focusing on postoperative trifecta achievement and exploring its predictor with multivariable analyses were included. The trifecta achievement was defined as negative surgical margins, warm ischemia time <25 minutes, and no complications. Merged odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to evaluate the predictive effect. RESULTS Thirteen studies with 7066 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were included. The rate of trifecta achievement ranged from 43.3% to 78.6%. Merged results showed that preoperative eGFR (OR: 1.01, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.02, P=0.02), operative time (OR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.99, 1.00, P=0.02), estimated blood loss (OR: 1.00, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.00, P <0.001), tumor size (OR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.58, 0.84, P <0.001), medium (OR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.18, 0.84, P=0.02) and high PADUA score (OR: 0.23, 95% CI: 0.08, 0.64, P=0.005) were independently associated with trifecta achievement. A publication bias was identified for tumor size. Sensitivity analysis confirmed the stability of result for tumor size. CONCLUSIONS Larger tumor size, medium and high PADUA score are associated with decreased probability of trifecta achievement. After verifying by further high-quality studies, these variables can be incorporated into tools to predict probability of trifecta achievement during clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To externally validate the RENAL, PADUA and SPARE nephrometry scoring systems for use in retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). MATERIALS AND METHODS Nephrometry scores were calculated for 322 consecutive patients receiving retroperitoneal RAPN at a tertiary referral centre from 2017. Patients with multiple tumours were excluded. Scores were correlated with peri-operative outcomes, including the trifecta (warm ischaemia time <25 min, no peri-operative complications and a negative surgical margin), both as continuous and categorical variables. Comparisons were performed using Spearman correlation and ability to predict the trifecta was assessed using binomial logistical regression. RESULTS All three scoring systems correlated significantly with the main variables (operating time, warm ischaemia time and estimated blood loss), both as continuous and categorical variables. Only PADUA and SPARE were able to predict achievement of the trifecta (PADUA area under the curve [AUC] 0.623, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.559-0.668; SPARE AUC 0.612, 95% CI 0.548-0.677). CONCLUSION This study validates the RENAL, PADUA and SPARE scoring systems to predict key intra-operative outcomes in retroperitoneal RAPN. Only PADUA and SPARE were able to predict achievement of the trifecta. As a simplified version of the PADUA scoring system with comparable outcomes, we recommend using the SPARE system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to compare open partial nephrectomy (OPN) and robotic-assisted PN (RAPN) based on a propensity score-matched sample and to test the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) as an end point for complications. METHODS Patients undergoing PN from 2010 to 2018 at a university care center were included. OPN and RAPN cases were matched in a 2:1 ratio using propensity score-matching with age, gender, BMI, RENAL score, and tumor size as confounders. The primary end point was complications measured with the CCI as continuous score (0-100, 100 indicating death). RESULTS Data of 570 patients were available. After matching, both cohorts (OPN = 166; RAPN = 83) showed no baseline differences. For the primary end point, CCI, RAPN was superior (RAPN 2.6 ± 7.9 vs. OPN 8.7 ± 13.9; p < 0.001). Additionally, RAPN was superior for length of stay (RAPN 6.5 ± 4.0 vs. OPN 7.4 ± 3.5 days; p < 0.001), hemoglobin drop (RAPN 2.8 ± 1.4 vs. OPN 3.8 ± 1.6 g/dL; p < 0.001), and drop of glomerular filtration rate (RAPN 11.4 ± 14.2 vs. OPN 19.5 ± 14.3 mL/min; p < 0.001). OPN had shorter operating times (RAPN 157 ± 43 vs. OPN 143 ± 45 min; p = 0.014) and less ischemia (RAPN 13% vs. OPN 28%; p = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS RAPN provides superior short-term results regarding overall complications without compromising renal function for small and less complex tumors. However, OPN remains an important option for more complex and larger tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an ongoing need and search for a simple yet accurate nephrometry scoring system for predicting the postoperative outcomes after partial nephrectomy (PN). Simplified PADUA Renal (SPARE) Nephrometry Scoring System, a simplified version of Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for an Anatomical Classification (PADUA) has been proposed as a predictor of postoperative complications following PN recently. However, this score has never been externally validated and assessed as a predictor of trifecta and pentafecta outcomes of PN. In the current study, we applied the SPARE scoring system to our robot-assisted PN cohort (RAPN). METHODS Prospectively maintained data of patients, who underwent RAPN from November 2014 to December 2018, was abstracted. Imaging was analyzed to calculate SPARE and RENAL nephrometry scores (RNS) by two urologists, independently. SPARE was compared with complications, trifecta outcomes, pentafecta outcomes, and RENAL nephrometry scoring (RNS). RESULTS Data of 201 RAPN patients were analyzed. The mean SPARE score was 3 (range 0-11). One hundred thirteen patients were classified as low risk, 64 as intermediate risk, and 24 as high risks. On multivariate analysis SPARE score alone predicted complications (OR=1.37, P=0.014) and trifecta outcomes (OR=0.75, P=0.000) while age (OR=0.96, P=0.042), preoperative eGFR (OR=0.97, P=0.001) and SPARE scores (OR=0.81, P=0.016) were predictors for pentafecta outcomes. Receiver operated curve (ROC) analysis between SPARE and RNS in predicting the complications; trifecta and pentafecta outcomes had a comparable area under the curve. CONCLUSIONS Our study validates the SPARE nephrometry scoring system in predicting postoperative complications, trifecta, and pentafecta outcomes in a RAPN cohort. The predictive accuracy of SPARE is similar to RNS.

Abstract
Robot-assisted surgery has evolved over time. Radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy is feasible and safe for level I, II and III thrombus in high volume centers. Though it is feasible for level IV thrombus, this procedure needs a multi-departmental co-operation. However, the safety of robot-assisted procedures in this subset is still unknown. Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy has been universally approved and found oncologically safe. Robotic adrenalectomy has been increasingly utilized for select cases, especially in bilateral tumors and for retroperitoneal adrenalectomy.

Prospective geriatric assessment for perioperative risk stratification in partial nephrectomy. Eur J Surg Oncol 2020; 47:913-919.

Abstract
PURPOSE Comorbidities and frailty are determinants of surgical outcome. The aim of the study was to examine various measures of frailty and comorbidities in predicting postoperative outcome of partial nephrectomy (PN). METHODS We prospectively analyzed the frailty and comorbidity status of 150 patients undergoing PN between 2015 and 2018. Primary endpoint was the occurrence of major postoperative complications (MPC) and secondary endpoints were the failure of Trifecta achievement and the need for hospital readmissions. For the transfer into clinical practice the most significant frailty parameters were summarized in a multi-dimensional test. RESULTS Median age was 67 (33-93) years, 64.7% of the patients were male. Univariable regression analysis showed, that patients with increased frailty indices (Hopkins frailty score ≥2 (OR = 3.74, p = 0.005), Groningen frailty index ≥4 (OR = 2.85, p = 0.036)) are at higher risk to develop MPC. Furthermore, poor physical performance, such as a low handgrip strength or a Full-Tandem-Stand (FTS) < 10 s were associated with MPC (OR = 4.76, p = 0.014; OR = 4.48, p = 0.018) and Trifecta failure (OR = 3.60, p = 0.037, OR = 5.50, p = 0.010). Six measures were combined to the geriatric assessment in partial nephrectomy score (GAPN). A GAPN-score ≥3 proved to be a significant predictor for MPC (OR = 4.30, p = 0.029) and for Trifecta failure (OR = 0.20, p = 0.011) in multivariable regression analysis. CONCLUSION The frailty status and comorbidities are important determinants of the postoperative course after PN. These parameters should be assessed preoperatively and included in the treatment planning, especially in light of available alternative therapies. In this context, the GAPN-score may be a suitable tool.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To compare RENAL, preoperative aspects and dimensions used for an anatomical (PADUA) classification, and Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) scores with the respective intraoperative findings and surgeon's assessment in predicting surgical outcome of patients undergoing partial nephrectomy. METHODS Data of 150 eligible patients treated at the University Medical Center Mannheim between 2016 and 2018 were analyzed. Tumors were radiologically and intraoperatively assessed by PADUA, RENAL, and MAP scores and surgeon's assessment. Correlations and regression models were created to predict ischemia time (IT), major complications, and Trifecta (negative surgical margin, IT < 25 min, and absence of major complications). RESULTS There were strong correlations between radiological and intraoperative RENAL (r = 0.68; p < 0.001) and PADUA scores (r = 0.72; p < 0.001). Radiological RENAL, PADUA, and MAP scores and surgeon's assessment were independent predictors of Trifecta (OR = 0.71, p = 0.015; OR = 0.77, p = 0.035; OR = 0.65, p = 0.012; OR = 0.40, p = 0.005, respectively). IT showed significant associations with radiological RENAL, PADUA, and surgeon's assessment (OR = 1.41, p = 0.033; OR = 1.34, p = 0.044; OR = 3.04, p = 0.003, respectively). MAP score proved as only independent predictor of major complications (OR = 2.12, p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Radiologically and intraoperatively assessed scores correlated well with each other. Intraoperative nephrometry did not outperform radiological scores in predicting outcome confirming the value of the existing systems. MAP score correlates well with surgeon's assessment of perirenal fat and major complications underlining the importance of perirenal fat characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pentafecta is a major goal in the era of partial nephrectomy (PN). Simplified PADUA REnal (SPARE) nephrometry system was developed to evaluate the complexity of tumor. However, the predictive ability in pentafecta of SPARE system is yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to externally validate the applicability of SPARE nephrometry system in predicting pentafecta achievement after partial nephrectomy, and to examine inter-observer concordance. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data of 207 consecutive patients who underwent PN between January 2012 and August 2018 at a tertiary referral center. We obtained SPARE, R.E.N.A.L., and PADUA scores and evaluated correlations among the nephrometries and surgical outcomes including pentafecta by Spearman test. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of pentafecta outcomes. We compared the nephrometries to determine the predictive ability of achieving pentafecta using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Fleiss' generalized kappa was used to assessed interobserver variation in the SPARE system. RESULTS Based on the SPARE system, 120, 74, and 13 patients were stratified into low-risk, intermediate-risk, and high-risk groups, respectively. Regarding the individual components of pentafecta, there were significant differences in the complication rate (p = 0.03), ischemia time (p < 0.001), and percent change of eGFR (p < 0.001) among the three risk groups. In addition, higher tumor complexity was significantly associated with a lower achievement rate of pentafecta (p = 0.01). In Spearman correlation tests, SPARE nephrometry was correlated with ischemia time (ρ:0.37, p < 0.001), operative time (ρ:0.28, p < 0.001), complication rate (ρ:0.34, p < 0.001), percent change of eGFR (ρ:0.34, p < 0.001), and progression of chronic kidney disease stage (ρ:0.17, p = 0.02). Multivariate analysis revealed that SPARE significantly affected pentafecta (OR: 0.67, p < 0.001). In ROC curve analysis, SPARE showed fair predictive ability in the achievement pentafecta (AUC: 0.71). The predictive ability of pentafecta was similar between nephrometries (SPARE vs. R.E.N.A.L., p = 0.78; SPARE vs. PADUA, p = 0.66). The interobserver concordance of SPARE was excellent (Kappa: 0.82, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS SPARE system was a predictive factor of surgical outcomes after PN. This refined nephrometry had similar predictive abilities for pentafecta achievement compared with R.E.N.A.L. and PADUA.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Nowadays, kidney cancer surgery has been focusing on a patient-tailored management, expanding the indication to nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). Starting from computer tomography images, 3D models can be created, allowing a never experienced before understanding of surgical anatomy. Once obtained the models can be printed or virtually visualized with the aid to assist the surgeon in preoperative planning and simulation or intraoperative navigation. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the preoperative and intraoperative impact of 3D printed and virtual imaging for robotic NSS. RECENT FINDINGS Ten articles were found to meet the inclusion criteria and reviewed. An 'intermediate' score was assessed to the overall articles' quality. A moderate/high risk of bias was recorded for all the studies. SUMMARY 3D-printed models were considered to be more useful during both preoperative simulations and patients' counseling. These models guaranteed a better comprehension of anatomical structures and surgical procedure. Costs and quality of the materials available represent the two main limits of this developing technology.Instead, in a virtual reality setting the preoperative planning was enhanced by using 3D virtual models in a mixed reality environment. Intraoperatively, the possibility to overlap the 3D model to real anatomy allowed augmented reality procedures. This technology is still a 'newborn' and is constantly evolving, expanding day by day the range of its potential applications.

Abstract
Introduction and objective: Traditionally, patients with renal masses in solitary kidneys were managed with an open partial nephrectomy. With improving techniques, robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy in the setting of a solitary kidney is increasingly utilized. The objective of this study was to compare open partial nephrectomy and robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy outcomes in solitary kidney patients. Methods: A retrospective study of 536 total patients who underwent partial nephrectomy between 2004–2016 was performed. Of these patients, 23 had a renal mass in a solitary kidney. Patient demographics, perioperative values, and surgical outcomes were analyzed using descriptive statistics to compare open partial nephrectomy to robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy. Results: Of the 23 patients in the cohort, 52% ( n=12) underwent open partial nephrectomy and 48% ( n=11) underwent robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy. Patient characteristics were not significantly different. The mean (standard deviation) nephrometry score was 6.9 (1.8) for open partial nephrectomy and 6.1 (1.9) for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy ( p=0.290). The mean (standard deviation) pre-operative creatinine was 1.2 (0.3) in open partial nephrectomy and 1.5 (0.4) in robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy, which did not reach statistical significance ( p=0.110). No difference in postoperative kidney function, Clavien grade 3 or higher complication rate, blood loss, or hospitalization length was noted. Conclusion: Although traditionally patients with a tumor in a solitary kidney are counseled to undergo open partial nephrectomy, robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy is a safe alternative with no decrease in postoperative renal function when compared with a similar cohort of patients undergoing open partial nephrectomy in a solitary kidney. Level of evidence: Level II

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Robotic surgery for the management of localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has gained increasing popularity during the last decade. An endophytic renal tumour represents a surgical technical challenge in terms of identification and resection related to the lack of external visual cues on the kidney surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS There is little evidence of functional outcomes of robotic surgery on treating endophytic masses. For this reason, we wanted to review the contemporary literature on the functional outcomes of endophytic RCC treated with robotic surgery. RESULTS Many studies investigating robotic partial nephrectomy for totally endophytic RCC confirmed the good functional results of this approach at intermediate follow-up. The greater relative importance of volume loss versus ischaemia duration in predicting long-term renal function after partial nephrectomy is now established, and the robotic technique may facilitate volume preservation. Accurate use of intra-operative ultrasonography, enucleation, and intra-operative techniques using near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green dye could minimize excision of the parenchyma and prevent devascularization of adjacent healthy parenchyma. CONCLUSIONS Unfortunately, the overall quality of the literature evidence and the high risk of selection bias limit the possibility of any causal interpretation about the relationship between the surgical technique used and functional outcomes.

Abstract
Objectives: To compare the perioperative, functional, and oncologic outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) for completely endophytic renal tumors (three points for the "E" element of the R.E.N.A.L. scoring system). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent either RAPN or LPN between 2013 and 2016. Baseline characteristics, perioperative, functional, and oncologic outcomes were compared. Univariable and multivariable logistic analyses were performed to determine factors associated with pentafecta achievement (ischemia time ≤25 minutes, negative margin, no perioperative complication, return of estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] to >90% from baseline, and no chronic kidney disease upstaging). Results: No significant differences between RAPN vs LPN were noted for operating time (105 minutes vs 108 minutes, p = 0.916), estimated blood loss (50 mL vs 50 mL, p = 0.130), renal artery clamping time (20 minutes vs 20 minutes, p = 0.695), rate of positive margins (3.3% vs 2.0%, p = 1.000), and postoperative complication rates (18.0% vs 21.6%, p = 0.639). RAPN was associated with a higher direct cost ($11240 vs $5053, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in pathology variables, rate of eGFR decline for postoperative 12-month (9.8% vs 10.6%, p = 0.901) functional follow-up. Multivariate analysis identified that only RENAL score was independently associated with the pentafecta achievement. Conclusions: For completely endophytic renal tumors, both RAPN and LPN have excellent and similar results. Both operation techniques remain viable options in the management of these cases.

BACKGROUND Partial nephrectomy (PN) has a non-negligible perioperative morbidity. Comparative evidence of the available surgical techniques is limited. OBJECTIVE To compare the perioperative outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robotic PN. METHODS Data of 2331 patients treated with PN for cT1 renal tumors were extracted from the RECORd2 database, a prospective multicenter project. Multivariable regression models assessed the relationship between surgical technique and surgical margins, warm ischemia time, postoperative complications, and acute kidney injury (AKI). The probability of achieving a modified trifecta (negative margins, warm ischemia time <25min, and no Clavien-Dindo ≥2 complications) was examined for each surgical approach. RESULTS Minimally invasive techniques had lower rate of Clavien-Dindo ≥2 complications than that of open surgery (odds ratio [OR] for robotic surgery: 0.27; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.15-0.47, p< 0.0001; OR for laparoscopy: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.34-0.78; p= 0.002). The probability of receiving ischemia was highest for robotic PN (p< 0.001). Among on-clamp PN, laparoscopy had longer ischemia than open (estimate: 1.09; 95% CI: -0.00 to 2.18; p= 0.050) and robotic (estimate: 1.36; 95% CI: 0.31-2.40; p= 0.011) surgery. When compared with open PN, the risk of AKI was roughly halved for patients treated by robotic and laparoscopic surgery (both p< 0.0001). Positive margins rate did not differ between the groups (all p≥ 0.1). The likelihood to achieve a modified trifecta was not affected by surgical technique in the overall population (all p≥ 0.075). In Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for an Anatomical (PADUA) score < 10 lesions, robotic surgery had higher probability of achieving a modified trifecta than open PN (OR: 1.66; 95% CI: 1.09-2.53; p= 0.018) and laparoscopy (OR: 1.34; 95% CI: 0.94-1.90; p= 0.11). CONCLUSIONS In PADUA<10 renal tumors, robotic PN allows for higher rates of trifecta than open and laparoscopic surgeries. The impact of surgical technique on perioperative outcomes of PN might be limited in more complex lesions. PATIENT SUMMARY We evaluated the association between surgical technique and perioperative outcomes of partial nephrectomy. In less complex (Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for an Anatomical [PADUA] score < 10) lesions, robotic PN allows for higher rates of trifecta when compared with other surgical techniques.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW An endophytic renal tumor represents a special surgical challenge in terms of location and safe removal. For this reason we wanted to review the existing literature on this subject. RECENT FINDINGS In high-activity robotic centers, robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is a safe and efficacious surgical approach for completely endophytic renal tumors. As research innovation, the application of the radio-guided occult lesion localization technique (ROLL) facilitates the location and complete excision of the tumor during surgery. There are few studies that specifically report the experience with completely endophytic renal tumors. The endophytic tumor is usually smaller than exophytic. Frequently it represents a high complexity value in the different Score systems reported in the last decade. This surgery should be performed by experienced urologists regardless of the surgical approach they prefer (open, laparoscopic, or robotic). It is necessary to develop new techniques for intraoperative easy localization and intraoperative evaluation of surgical margins.
