Single-port laparoscopic and robotic partial nephrectomy are feasible for select kidney tumors. Robotic assistance may enhance surgical capabilities in single-port procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Partial nephrectomy (PN) is effective for small renal masses.
  • Single-port laparoscopic (SPL) and robotic surgeries are advanced minimally invasive techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of single-port laparoscopic and robotic partial nephrectomy (PN).
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of these novel surgical approaches for renal tumors.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective evaluation of patients undergoing SPL and single-port robotic (SPR) PN.
  • Inclusion criteria: small, solitary, exophytic-enhancing renal masses.
  • Exclusion criteria: solitary kidney, endophytic/hilar tumors, prior abdominal surgery.

Main Results:

  • Seven patients underwent single-port PN (5 SPL, 2 SPR).
  • One SPL case required conversion to standard laparoscopy due to bleeding.
  • Pathology confirmed six renal cell carcinomas (RCC) and one benign cyst; all margins were negative except one focally positive frozen section.
  • Mean hemoglobin difference was 3.0+/-2.0 g/dl.
  • Minimal pain was reported at discharge (VAPS: 1.7+/-1.2 for SPL, 1+/-0.5 for SPR).

Conclusions:

  • Single-port PN (both laparoscopic and robotic) is feasible for select exophytic renal tumors.
  • Robotic assistance may enhance surgical capabilities in single-port PN procedures.
  • These techniques offer a minimally invasive option for managing small renal masses.
