Assessment of Oncological and Functional Outcomes After Robot Assisted Partial Nephrectomy Versus Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2019-04-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Currently, partial nephrectomy (PN) is considered as the gold standard treatment modality for small renal masses. In this setting, robot-assisted and conventional laparoscopic approaches are gaining more consensus every day. However, until now, no superiority of one technique over the other has yet been demonstrated, especially on postoperative function recovery.

This study compares oncological and functional outcomes after laparoscopic partial nephrectomy versus robot assisted partial nephrectomy.
