Abstract

Partial nephrectomy is the prioritized surgical management of small renal masses. The growth of robotic surgery has allowed for additional methods of hilar and supra-hilar control during partial nephrectomy. Herein, we detail our technique and preoperative evaluation for early unclamping, selective, superselective, and unclamped robotic partial nephrectomy.
