Robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) via transperitoneal (TRPN) or retroperitoneal (RRPN) approaches show comparable quality outcomes. RRPN offers shorter operative times and is a viable option for anterior tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) is increasingly accepted.
  • Ongoing debate exists regarding transperitoneal (TRPN) versus retroperitoneal (RRPN) access for RPN.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare perioperative outcomes between TRPN and RRPN.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 754 patients (551 TRPN, 203 RRPN) from three high-volume centers.
  • Propensity score matching was used, considering factors like BMI, tumor size, and PADUA score.
  • Quality outcomes assessed using margin, ischemia, and complications (MIC) criteria.

Main Results:

  • Matched analysis included 176 patients per group; median tumor diameter 28mm, PADUA score 9.

  • RRPN had significantly shorter operative time (119 vs 139 min) and warm ischemia time (9 vs 10 min).
  • Major complication rates were 8% for TRPN vs 3% for RRPN; MIC criteria met in 88% (TRPN) vs 90% (RRPN).

    • Conclusions:

    • Both TRPN and RRPN are feasible for robotic partial nephrectomy.
    • RRPN demonstrates shorter operative times with comparable complication rates and quality outcomes.
    • RRPN is a suitable alternative, even for anterior renal tumors.
