Complications of Laparoscopic and Robotic Urologic Surgery

Abstract

Partial nephrectomy has emerged as the standard of care for the treatment of small renal tumors. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) has been performed for over 15 years and has demonstrated satisfactory oncologic outcomes, decreased patient morbidity, and shorter recovery time compared to open surgery [1–3]. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) is an emerging technique that shares the minimally invasive advantages of LPN and may provide technical advantages specific to robotic systems (e.g., improved visualization and dexterity during reconstruction) [4, 5]. Furthermore, early literature on RALPN has demonstrated possible advantages in terms of warm ischemia time (WIT) and blood loss compared with laparoscopy [4, 5].
