Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy After Selective Embolization and Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy: A Comparison of Short-Term Oncological and Functional Outcomes

Partial nephrectomy (PN) is the standard treatment for localized renal tumors. Laparoscopic PN (LPN) after selective embolization of tumor (LPNE) in a hybrid operating room has been developed to make LPN easier and safer. The aim of this study was to compare outcomes of LPNE and robot-assisted PN (RAPN).All patients who underwent an LPNE at Angers University Hospital between May 2015 and April 2017, and a RAPN at Diaconesses Croix Saint Simon...
