Comparison of robotic and open partial nephrectomy for highly complex renal tumors (RENAL nephrometry score ?10).

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To compare the outcomes of robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) with those of open PN (OPN) in patients with highly complex renal tumors defined as RENAL nephrometry score ? 10. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We analyzed clinical data from a total of 149 patients who underwent OPN or RPN for a highly complex renal mass at our institution between 2003 and 2017. Perioperative data, complication profiles, functional outcomes, pathologic variables, and oncologic outcomes were evaluated in both groups. RESULTS:The median (interquartile range, IQR) patient age was 52.0 (42.0-59.0) years, and the median (IQR) follow-up period was 30.0 (7.0-54.0) months. Among the patients, 64 (43.0%) and 85 (57.0%) underwent OPN and RPN, respectively. The RPN group showed higher rates of clinical T1b and ? T2 than the OPN group (p = 0.019). There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of intraoperative outcomes such as operation time, estimated blood loss, warm ischemic time, and transfusion. Notably, the RPN group showed significantly shorter length of hospital stay than the OPN group (p < 0.001). Regarding the complication profiles and renal functional outcomes, no significant differences were reported between the groups. The estimated glomerular filtration rate decline from baseline at the last follow-up showed no significant differences between the two groups (p = 0.351). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis also showed no significant differences in survival outcomes between the groups (log-rank test, all p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:RPN performed in patients with highly complex renal tumors offers perioperative, functional, and oncologic outcomes comparable to those associated with OPN.

Project description:PurposeSeveral nephrometry scoring systems have been developed based on two-dimensional computerized tomography images to quantify anatomical features of renal tumors. We have developed an accurate three-dimensional nephrometry scoring system to respond to the urgent need for advanced systems based on three-dimensional images.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 135 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy in our institution. Stereoscopic models were reconstructed from preoperative computerized tomography images and three-dimensional scores were assigned directly on stereoscopic models. All tumors were analyzed for following features: tumor volume; endophytic tumor proportion; renal vascular variations; tumor's relationships with urinary collecting system or renal sinus; longitudinal distance from tumor to equatorial plane. Correlation between three-dimensional score and warm ischemic time was calculated compared with existing classical nephrometry scoring systems. The value of nephrometry scoring systems predicting longer warm ischemic time was explored by receiver operating characteristic curves.ResultsMean tumor volume was 31.25 ml; endophytic volume was less than 50% in 42 cases, more than 50% in 79 cases, and 100% in 14 cases; mean longitudinal distance from tumor to equatorial plane was 1.41 cm; 30 patients (22.2%) presented renal vascular variations; 18 cases (13.3%) involved both urinary collecting system and sinus. Mean three-dimensional score was 8.3. Variance analysis and covariance analysis revealed warm ischemic time a significant association with all evaluated tumor features. Furthermore, three-dimensional scores most highly correlated with warm ischemic time (rs = 0.64, p < 0.001), followed by R.E.N.A.L. scores (rs = 0.21, p = 0.012), centrality index (rs = - 0.20, p = 0.019) and Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for Anatomy score (rs = 0.20, p = 0.019). Area under curve of above nephrometry scoring systems was 0.91, 0.67, 0.68 and 0.67 respectively (p < 0.05).ConclusionsThe three-dimensional scoring system developed in this study was a highly-accurate system to quantify the anatomical features of renal tumors. It was identified to have a value in predicting duration of warm ischemic time.

Project description:Objective To evaluate the current literature comparing outcomes of robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) versus laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) treating complex renal tumors (RENAL nephrometry score ≥7). Methods We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and Scopus databases up to March 2023. Review Manager 5.4 performed a pooled analysis of the data for random effects. Besides, sensitivity and subgroup analyses to explore heterogeneity, Newcastle-Ottawa scale, and GRADE to evaluate study quality and level of evidence. Results Eight observational studies comprising 1346 patients (RPN: 695; LPN: 651) were included in this study. Compared to LPN, RPN had a shorter operative time (OT) (weight mean difference [WMD]: -14.73 min; p = 0.0003), shorter warm ischemia time (WIT) (WMD: -3.47 min; p = 0.002), lower transfusion rate (odds ratio [OR]: 0.66; p = 0.04), shorter length of stay (LOS) (WMD: -0.65 days; p < 0.00001), lower postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) change (WMD = -2.33 mL/min/1.73 m2; p = 0.002) and lower intraoperative complications (OR: 0.52; p = 0.04). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of estimated blood loss (EBL) (p = 0.84), conversion to radical nephrectomy (p = 0.12), postoperative complications (p = 0.11), major complications (defined Clavien–Dindo grade 3 (p = 0.43), overall complications (p = 0.15), postoperative eGFR (p = 0.28), local recurrence (p = 0.35), positive surgical margin (PSM) (p = 0.63), overall survival (OS) (p = 0.47), cancer-specific survival (CSS) (p = 0.22) and 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) (p = 0.53). Conclusion Patients with complex renal tumors (RENAL score ≥7), RPN is superior to LPN in decreasing the OT, WIT, LOS, transfusion rate, change in eGFR and the incidence of intraoperative complications while maintaining oncological control and avoiding a decline in renal function. However, our findings need further validation in a large-sample prospective randomized study.
