Robotic technology is being increasingly adopted in urologic surgery.
To describe a contemporary surgical technique and report cumulative surgical outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) at our tertiary care institution.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Medical charts of consecutive patients who underwent RALPN between June 2006 and November 2011 were reviewed from a prospectively maintained, institutional review board-approved database.
The main steps of our current surgical technique are described in this video tutorial: patient positioning and trocar placement; bowel mobilization; hilar dissection; tumor identification and demarcation; clamping of the hilum; tumor excision; renorraphy; hilar unclamping; and tumor retrieval.
Patients' characteristics and main surgical outcomes were analyzed.
A total of 400 patients (mean age: 58.5 yr, mean body mass index: 30.7 kg/m(2)) were included in this analysis. Mean renal tumor size was 3.17 cm (standard deviation [SD]: 1.64) and mean RENAL score was 7.2 (SD: 2). Six patients (1.5%) presented with a solitary kidney. Mean total operative time was 190.3 min (SD: 57), and mean warm ischemia time was 19.2 min (SD: 10.72). In 36 cases (9%), an unclamped hilum technique was used. After a mean follow-up of 12.4 mo (SD: 12.2), there was a decline of -9.2 ml/min per 1.73 m(2) (SD: 26.56) in estimated glomerular filtration rate. Most renal masses were malignant (74.5%), and the overall mean tumor size was 3.05 cm (SD: 1.66). Renal cell carcinoma with a clear cell histology represented the most frequent malignant diagnosis (64.4% of cases). A positive margin was observed in nine cases (2.25%). A total of 11 intraoperative complications (2.7%) occurred, and a conversion to open or laparoscopic PN was required in six cases (1.5%). A postoperative complication occurred in 61 cases (15.3%), the majority of them being low grade.
The standardization of each surgical step has allowed for optimization of RALPN and ultimately improved its outcomes and expanded its indications.
机器人技术在泌尿科手术中越来越多地被采用。
描述一种现代手术技术,并报告我们的三级护理机构中机器人辅助腹腔镜部分肾切除术(RALPN)的累积手术结果。
设计、设置和参与者:从一个前瞻性维护的机构审查委员会批准的数据库中回顾了 2006 年 6 月至 2011 年 11 月期间接受 RALPN 的连续患者的病历。
本视频教程介绍了我们当前手术技术的主要步骤:患者体位和套管放置;肠管移动;肾门解剖;肿瘤识别和划定;肾门夹闭;肿瘤切除;肾缝合;肾门松解;肿瘤取出。
本分析共纳入 400 例患者(平均年龄:58.5 岁,平均体重指数:30.7kg/m2)。平均肾肿瘤大小为 3.17cm(标准差[SD]:1.64),平均 RENAL 评分为 7.2(SD:2)。6 例患者(1.5%)为孤立肾。平均总手术时间为 190.3 分钟(SD:57),平均热缺血时间为 19.2 分钟(SD:10.72)。36 例(9%)采用未夹闭肾门技术。平均随访 12.4 个月(SD:12.2)后,估算肾小球滤过率下降-9.2ml/min/1.73m2(SD:26.56)。大多数肾肿瘤为恶性(74.5%),总体平均肿瘤大小为 3.05cm(SD:1.66)。透明细胞组织学的肾细胞癌占最常见的恶性诊断(64.4%的病例)。9 例(2.25%)发现切缘阳性。共发生 11 例术中并发症(2.7%),6 例(1.5%)需要转为开放或腹腔镜 PN。61 例(15.3%)发生术后并发症,大多数为低级别。
每个手术步骤的标准化都使 RALPN 得以优化,并最终改善了其结果并扩大了其适应证。
