Overview

Retrospective analysis reports outcomes of single-port procedures in Europe, indicating safe implementation.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of single-port robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in European patients.
  • Retrospective analysis of consecutive patients undergoing single-port robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.
  • Comparison of perioperative outcomes for transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches.
  • Performed within 15 months of implementing the robotic system.
  • Total of 61 patients underwent single-port robot-assisted partial nephrectomy with no conversions to open surgery.
  • Transperitoneal tumors were larger (42 mm) compared to retroperitoneal (26 mm, p < 0.001).
  • Retroperitoneal approach resulted in shorter operative time (170 min vs. 222 min, p = 0.008) and lower blood loss (50 ml vs. 100 ml, p = 0.002).
