ABSTRACT
Objectives:
To compare perioperative outcomes of patients treated with sutureless off-clamp robotic partial nephrectomy (sl-oc RAPN) by either a novice or an expert robotic surgeon at two different institutions.Methods:
Data concerning two continuous series of patients with cT1-2N0M0 renal tumors treated with sl-oc RAPN either by a novice or an expert surgeon were extracted from prospectively populated institutional databases over the last 4 years. Perioperative outcomes as well as the baseline characteristics of patients and tumors were compared by using χ2 and Mann-Whitney tests for categorical and continuous variables, respectively. A 11 propensity match score analysis (PMSa) generated two homogeneous cohorts. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess predictors of trifecta outcomes, defined as negative surgical margins, no Clavien-Dindo ⧠3 grade complications, and no ⧠30% postoperative eGFR reduction.Results:
Overall, 328 patients were treated by an expert surgeon, while 40 were treated by a novice surgeon. After PMSa analysis, two cohorts of 23 patients each were generated, homogeneous for all baseline variables (p ≥ 0.07). Hospital stay was the only significantly different outcome observed between the two groups (5 days vs. 2 days; p < 0.001). No statistically significant differences were recorded when comparing trifecta outcomes (expert 100% vs. novice 87%; p = 0.07). In the logistic regression analysis, no statistically significant predictors of trifecta outcomes were recorded.Conclusions:
sl-oc RAPN is a feasible and safe nephron sparing technique, even when performed by a novice robotic surgeon.
