Abstract
Background and objective Data regarding open conversion (OC) during minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for renal tumors are reported from big databases, without precise description of the reason and management of OC. The objective of this study was to describe the rate, reasons, and perioperative outcomes of OC in a cohort of patients who underwent MIS for renal tumor initially. The secondary objective was to find the factors associated with OC. Methods Between 2008 and 2022, of the 8566 patients included in the UroCCR project prospective database (NCT03293563), who underwent laparoscopic or robot-assisted minimally invasive partial (MIPN) or radical (MIRN) nephrectomy, 163 experienced OC. Each center was contacted to enlighten the context of OC: "emergency OC" implied an immediate life-threatening situation not reasonably manageable with MIS, otherwise "elective OC". To evaluate the predictive factors of OC, a 2:1 paired cohort on the UroCCR database was used. Key findings and limitations The incidence rate of OC was 1.9% for all cases of MIS, 2.9% for MIRN, and 1.4% for MIPN. OC procedures were mostly elective (82.2%). The main reason for OC was a failure to progress due to anatomical difficulties (42.9%). Five patients (3.1%) died within 90 d after surgery. Increased body mass index (BMI; odds ratio [OR]: 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.09, p = 0.009) and cT stage (OR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.24-4.25, p = 0.008) were independent predictive factors of OC. Conclusions and clinical implications In MIS for renal tumors, OC was a rare event (1.9%), caused by various situations, leading to impaired perioperative outcomes. Emergency OC occurred once every 300 procedures. Increased BMI and cT stage were independent predictive factors of OC. Patient summary The incidence rate of open conversion (OC) in minimally invasive surgery for renal tumors is low. Only 20% of OC procedures occur in case of emergency, and others are caused by various situations. Increased body mass index and cT stage were independent predictive factors of OC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both partial nephrectomy (pNx) and total nephrectomy (TNx) are the mainstay of the surgical treatment of renal cell carcinoma. In smaller masses, ablative treatment as well as surveillance are possible options. OBJECTIVE The aim of this article is to provide a closer look at the surgical methods, active surveillance and ablative options as well as the current evidence to support their use. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study is based on a selective literature review regarding pNx and TNx for renal cell carcinoma using the PubMed database and the review of current European and American guidelines on surgical treatment and conservative options for renal cell carcinoma. RESULTS The choice of surgical method depends on the intrarenal tumor configuration as well as patient comorbidities. While pNx is used for smaller localized masses TNx is usually performed in larger more complex tumors. Both methods can be performed using a minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotically assisted) or an open approach. In patients with severe comorbidities or a limited life expectancy, local ablative treatment options as well as surveillance strategies are suitable strategies.

Unplanned Open Conversion During Radical or Partial Nephrectomy: Comparing Outcomes and Trends. Urology 2021; 154:170-176. [PMID: 33961889 DOI: 10.1016/j.urology.2021.04.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2021] [Revised: 04/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare perioperative outcomes between open conversion and planned open surgical approach and to investigate trends. MATERIALS AND METHODS The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried for cT1 and cT2 RCC treated by radical (RN) or partial (PN) nephrectomy between 2010 and 2016. We retrospectively analyzed patient demographics, clinical tumor characteristics, and perioperative outcomes between unplanned open conversion and planned open approaches for RN and PN. RESULTS In total, 152,919 patients underwent RN or PN for cT1 or cT2 RCC over the 7-year span. The rate of unplanned open conversion from MIS was 3.9% overall, remaining lowest for cT1 PN (2.7%) and highest for cT2 RN (5.9%). Cases of open conversion tended to have higher rate of upstaged disease. When comparing open conversion to a planned open case, there was no difference in the length of post-operative hospitalization. On logistic regression, unplanned open conversion from MIS was associated with higher odds of positive margin for RN but not for PN. Increased odds of 30-day's readmission were associated with unplanned open conversion from MIS in the setting of cT1 PN only. CONCLUSION When compared to a planned open approach, conversion to open from MIS does not affect length of hospital stay but is associated with higher odds of positive surgical margins for RN and higher odds of 30-day's readmission for cT1 PN. Advanced pathologic stage is associated with an open conversion, likely relating to increased tumor complexity. These findings should be considered preoperatively when determining the best surgical approach.
