Abstract
Over the past decade, there has been a change in the management of newly diagnosed renal cortical tumors, shifting away from radical nephrectomy (RN) toward the application of partial nephrectomy (PN). Minimally invasive surgical approaches have been increasingly used in patients with small renal masses over the last several years with equivalent oncologic outcomes.1 Minimally invasive extirpative surgical approaches used to treat small renal masses include: laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) (both transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches) and robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RLPN). The focus of this chapter will be on transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches to LPN and robotic PN.
