Abstract
The objective of this study is to analyze the association between surgical day of the week and distance traveled with prolonged length of stay (LOS) following robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). 563 consecutive RAPN performed by a single surgeon were evaluated. Early week RAPN was considered Monday through Wednesday, while late-week RAPN was defined as surgery performed Thursday through Friday. Distance traveled for RAPN was evaluated as greater than or less than 60 miles. The respective groups were compared to see if the surgical day of the week or distance traveled influenced the hospital stay or prolonged hospital stay (defined as hospital length of stay equal or greater than 3 days). Overall, 213 patients (38.0%) undergoing RAPN experienced a prolonged LOS. A total of 380 patients underwent early week RAPN compared to 183 late-week RAPN. Patients undergoing late-week RAPN were more likely to have a prolonged LOS compared to early week RAPN (n = 81, 44% vs. n = 133, 35%, respectively; p = 0.004). 229 patients traveled less than 60 miles, while 332 patients traveled more than 60 miles to receive RAPN. 135 patients (40.7%) traveling more than 60 miles experienced a prolonged stay compared to 78 patients (34.1%) traveling less than 60 miles, although this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.128). Patients who underwent RAPN at the end of the week were more likely to have a prolonged LOS, while distance traveled for RAPN did not appear to affect likelihood of prolonged LOS.

Impact of pre- and peri-operative risk factors on length of stay and hospital readmission following minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy. Asian J Urol 2024; 11:72-79. [PMID: 38312812 PMCID: PMC10837654 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajur.2022.06.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 06/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective We conducted an analysis of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database for minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy cases reported with the goal to identify pre- and peri-operative variables associated with length of stay (LOS) greater than 3 days and readmission within 30 days. Methods Records from 2008 to 2018 for "laparoscopy, surgical; partial nephrectomy" for prolonged LOS and readmission cohorts were compiled. Univariate analysis with Chi-square, t-tests, and multivariable logistic regression analysis with odds ratios (ORs), p-values, and 95% confidence intervals assessed statistical associations. Results Totally, 20 306 records for LOS greater than 3 days and 15 854 for readmission within 30 days were available. Univariate and multivariable analysis exhibited similar results. For LOS greater than 3 days, undergoing non-elective surgery (OR=5.247), transfusion of greater than four units within 72 h prior to surgery (OR=5.072), pre-operative renal failure or dialysis (OR=2.941), and poor pre-operative functional status (OR=2.540) exhibited the strongest statistically significant associations. For hospital readmission within 30 days, loss in body weight greater than 10% in 6 months prior to surgery (OR=2.227) and bleeding disorders (OR=2.081) exhibited strongest statistically significant associations. Conclusion Multiple pre- and peri-operative risk factors are independently associated with prolonged LOS and hospital readmission within 30 days of surgery using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data. Recognizing the risks factors that can potentially be improved prior to minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy is crucial to informing patient selection, optimization strategies, and patient education.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to present results of kidney tumor treatment at Osijek University Hospital Center over a 5-year period and to compare the outcomes between patients treated with radical nephrectomy (RN) and partial nephrectomy (PN). From November 2016 until the end of 2021, there were 280 consecutive PNs and RNs included in this cross-sectional study. Exclusion criteria were nephrectomies due to non-oncologic reasons and transitional cell carcinoma. There were 229 RNs and 51 PNs, median age of all patients was 62.5 (range 34-84) years. In the RN group, there were 197 renal cell carcinomas (RCC), predominantly clear-cell subtype, while among others there were 8 multilocular cystic renal neoplasms of low malignant potential (MCRNLMP) and 6 oncocytomas and angiomyolipomas each. There were 44 RCCs, 4 oncocytomas, 1 MCRNLMP and 2 cysts removed with PN; median R.E.N.A.L. score was 5. RN group had greater tumor diameters and higher tumor grade, higher postoperative creatinine levels and complications of higher grade. There was no difference in median hospital stay (6 days) and follow-up (20 months). With regard to oncologic safety, preservation of kidney function and lower overall morbidity, PN should be preferred to RN whenever oncologically safe and technically feasible.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the significance of the R.E.N.A.L nephrometry scoring system in predicting perioperative and oncological outcomes and determining the surgical approach of choice for kidney tumors. Patients and Methods: Our study retrospectively reviewed outcomes from the year 2002 to 2017. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare continuous variables and chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables. Kaplan-Meier estimates and multivariable cox proportional hazard regression were performed to determine an association between the different R.E.N.A.L categories and disease recurrence or mortality. Results A total of 325 patients underwent kidney surgery The most common R.E.N.A.L score category in our cohort study was intermediate (41.2%), followed by low, (33.2%) and high (25.5%). Patients with a high R.E.N.A.L score had worse perioperative outcomes compared to those with a low R.E.N.A.L score. High R.E.N.A.L score patients were 3 times more likely to receive blood transfusions compared to those with a low R.E.N.A.L score (19.4% vs 6.3%, p = 0.018), and a statistically significant longer hospital length of stay was also observed between the two groups (median 4.5 vs 4 days, p = 0.0419). In addition, the only predictor of disease recurrence or mortality was a high R.E.N.A.L score (Hazard Ratio (HR) 3.65, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.05–12.7, p = 0.041). Conclusion Our study sheds light on the use of R.E.N.A.L nephrometry score in predicting perioperative, postoperative, and oncological outcomes. Such findings may play a role in optimizing surgical approaches and pre-operative patient counseling.

Abstract
Objective: To identify preoperative characteristics in patients with renal masses that influence operative time during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and evaluate the relationship between operative time and length of stay (LOS), complication rates, and overall outcome. Materials and Methods: We queried our institutional database to identify a cohort of patients who underwent RAPN by two experienced robotic surgeons between 2012 and 2019. A multivariable regression model was developed to analyze operative time, LOS, and any grade complication within 30 days postoperatively using the bootstrap resampling technique. Results: A total of 392 patients were included. On multivariable analyses, prior abdominal surgery (p = 0.001) was associated with 22 minutes of increase in operating room time, as well as adhesive perirenal fat (22 minutes, p = 0.001). For each one unit increase in nephrometry score, there was a 4-minute increase in operating room time (p = 0.028), and for each one-cm increase in tumor size, there was an associated 12-minute increase in operating room time (p < 0.001). For each 1 year increase in age, there was an associated 0.024-day increase in LOS [odds ratio (OR) (0.013-0.035)]; in addition, for every one-cm increase in tumor size there was a 0.18-day associated increase in LOS [OR (0.070-0.28)]. Each 1-hour increase in operating room time was associated with a 0.25-day increased LOS [OR (0.092-0.41)]. Only tumor size was found to be associated with any grade complication. Conclusions: Patients with a history of abdominal surgery, larger complex tumors, and significant Gerota's fat undergoing robotic partial nephrectomy should anticipate longer operative times. Older patients with larger tumors and longer operative times can anticipate a longer LOS. Tumor size appears to be the common determinant of all three outcomes: operative time, LOS, and any grade Clavien complication.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate feasibility, repeatability and usefulness of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the assessment of kidney wound recovery after laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery (LNSS) or robot-assisted nephron-sparing surgery (RANSS) and preliminarily research the clinical factors associated with the length of extravasation (LOE). Patients and Methods From April 2019 to January 2020, 130 patients that underwent LNSS or RANSS in our hospital were included, and 90 patients (90/130) received CEUS examinations each one day from the postoperative day 1. The discovery of the cessation of contrast medium extravasation from the renal wound was the primary endpoint named "ultrasonic healing", and LOE ranged from the day of surgery to "ultrasonic healing". Patient, tumor, perioperative factors and LOE were collected. Univariate analysis and multivariate linear regression analysis were applied for the determination of factors associated with LOE. Results The average postoperative LOE was 1.76 days (standard deviation, 1.115; 95% confidence interval: 1.52-1.99). Ultrasonic healing within three days was observed in 95.6% patients (86/90). Univariable and multivariable analyses showed that R and A components in R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score were associated with LOE. Anterior location and R component score of 2 (tumor size>4cm) were related to longer LOE than posterior location and R score of 1 (tumor size<4cm). The incidence of complications in patients with LOE over one day was higher than those with LOE of one day. Conclusion CEUS was feasible, repeatable and useful in the assessment of kidney wound recovery. Tumor size and location were related to LOE after minimally invasive nephron-sparing surgery (MINSS). Length of stay after MINSS within three days might be relatively safe.

Partial nephrectomy should be classified as an inpatient procedure: Results from a statewide quality improvement collaborative. Urol Oncol 2021; 39:239.e9-239.e16. [PMID: 33485765 DOI: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2021.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2020] [Revised: 12/15/2020] [Accepted: 01/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine length of stay (LOS) and readmission rates for all minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN) and MI radical nephrectomy (MIRN) performed for localized renal masses ≤7 cm in size (cT1RM) within 12 Michigan urology practices. Both RN and PN are commonly performed in treating cT1RM. Although technically more complex and associated with higher complication rates, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services considers MIPN an outpatient procedure and MIRN is inpatient. METHODS We collected data for renal surgeries for cT1RM at MUSIC-KIDNEY practices between May 2017-February 2020. Data abstractors recorded clinical, radiographic, pathologic, surgical, and short-term follow-up data into the registry for cT1RM patients. RESULTS Within MUSIC-KIDNEY, 807 patients underwent MI renal surgery at 12 practices. Median LOS for cT1RM patients after MIPN (n = 531, 66%) was 2 days and after MIRN (n = 276, 34%) was also 2 days. Among patients undergoing laparoscopic or robotic PN, 171 (32%), 230 (43%), and 130 (24%) stayed ≤1, 2, ≥3 days. Among patients undergoing laparoscopic or robotic RN, 81 (29%), 112 (41%), and 83 (30%) stayed ≤1, 2, ≥3 days. No significant difference was observed between MIPN and MIRN on LOS commensurate with outpatient surgery (≤1-day, OR = 0.97, P = 0.87). CONCLUSIONS Less than one-third of patients had a LOS ≤1-day and LOS was comparable for MIPN and MIRN. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services should be advised that MIPN is a more complex surgery than MIRN, most patients receiving a MIPN will require a ≥2-day hospital stay and it would be more appropriate to classify MIPN an inpatient procedure with MIRN.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of single-port (SP) robotic surgery on length of stay (LOS) in our initial experience using the da Vinci SP robot as compared with traditional, multiport procedures. METHODS We evaluated our single surgeon (RA) prospective database for the initial 100 SP procedures performed between January 2019 and January 2020. Patient LOS was compared with standard multiport robotic surgery patients since we began routinely offering same-day discharge (SDD) in September 2016. RESULTS Among the initial 100 SP robotic surgeries, there were 59 prostatectomies, 18 partial nephrectomies, 12 pyeloplasties, 4 nephrectomies, 4 adrenalectomies, 2 partial cystectomies, and 1 nephroureterectomy. The rate of SDD in SP procedures was higher compared to our historical SDD for multiport robotic surgeries despite uniformly offering SDD to all patients in both groups (88% vs 51%, P < .0001). Among prostatectomies, 88% of SP patients were discharged the same day versus 55% (P < .001). Among partial nephrectomies, 83% of SP patients went home the same day versus 17% (P < .001) as well as 83% of pyeloplasty patients versus 52% (P = .064). For SP adrenalectomy, nephrectomy, partial cystectomy, and nephroureterectomy, all were discharged the same day. CONCLUSION Our initial experience with SP robotic surgery suggests earlier discharge is possible with the large majority (88%) so far opting to go home the same day as surgery. Further experience will be necessary to allow analysis of pain scores and analgesic usage as potential causative factors.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To predict intra-operative (IOEs) and postoperative events (POEs) consequential to the derailment of the ideal clinical course of patient recovery. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Vattikuti Collective Quality Initiative is a multi-institutional dataset of patients who underwent robot-assisted partial nephectomy for kidney tumours. Machine-learning (ML) models were constructed to predict IOEs and POEs using logistic regression, random forest and neural networks. The models to predict IOEs used patient demographics and preoperative data. In addition to these, intra-operative data were used to predict POEs. Performance on the test dataset was assessed using area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) and area under the precision-recall curve (PR-AUC). RESULTS The rates of IOEs and POEs were 5.62% and 20.98%, respectively. Models for predicting IOEs were constructed using data from 1690 patients and 38 variables; the best model had an AUC-ROC of 0.858 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.762, 0.936) and a PR-AUC of 0.590 (95% CI 0.400, 0.759). Models for predicting POEs were trained using data from 1406 patients and 59 variables; the best model had an AUC-ROC of 0.875 (95% CI 0.834, 0.913) and a PR-AUC 0.706 (95% CI, 0.610, 0.790). CONCLUSIONS The performance of the ML models in the present study was encouraging. Further validation in a multi-institutional clinical setting with larger datasets would be necessary to establish their clinical value. ML models can be used to predict significant events during and after surgery with good accuracy, paving the way for application in clinical practice to predict and intervene at an opportune time to avert complications and improve patient outcomes.

Non-modifiable factors predict discharge quality after robotic partial nephrectomy. Int Urol Nephrol 2016; 49:37-41. [PMID: 27671904 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-016-1421-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2016] [Accepted: 09/13/2016] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To identify predictors of poor discharge quality after robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) at a large academic center. METHODS We queried our institutional RPN database for consecutive patients treated between 2011 and 2015. The primary outcome was poor discharge quality, defined as length of stay >3 days and/or unplanned readmission. The association between patient, disease, and provider factors and overall discharge quality was assessed using univariate and multivariable analyses. RESULTS Of 791 cases, 219 (27.7 %) had poor discharge quality. On univariate analysis, factors associated with poor discharge quality were older age (p < .01), black race (p = .01), social insurance (p < .01), higher ASA score (p < .01), chronic kidney disease (p < .01), increased tumor size (p < .01), and higher tumor complexity (p = .01). Surgeon case volume did not predict discharge quality (p = .63). After adjustment for covariates on multivariable analysis, race (p = .01), ASA (p = .02), CKD (p < .01), tumor size (p = .02), and tumor complexity (p = .03) still predicted poor discharge quality. In particular, the odds of poor discharge quality were highest in the setting of CKD (OR 2.62, 95 % CI 1.72-4.01), black race (OR 2.17, 95 % CI 1.32-3.57), and higher ASA (OR 1.49, 95 % CI 1.07-2.08). CONCLUSIONS Non-modifiable patient and disease factors predict poor discharge quality after RPN. Risk adjustment for these factors will be important for determining future reimbursement for RPN providers.
