Purely hilar lesions and those abutting the main renal artery or vein may be significantly different in terms of surgical complexity, requiring different resection strategies. To describe surgical technique and to assess its safety, oncologic and functional outcomes of a single centre experience of Off-Clamp Robotic Partial Nephrectomy (Off-C RPN) for purely hilar renal masses.
