Abstract :

Objectives: To study the trifecta outcome of initial 20 cases of robot– assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) at our institute. Materials and Methods: A total of 20 patients underwent robot assisted partial nephrectomy between January 2017 and May 2019 by a single urologist. We prospectively analysed the trifecta outcome defined as a warm ischemia time (WIT) of <25 min, negative surgical margins, and no complications intraoperatively or within 3 months of RAPN. Results: All patients successfully underwent robot assisted partial nephrectomy. Median warm ischemia time was 15 minutes. One patient with complex tumour had positive surgical margin. There were no Clavien– Dindo Grade IV and V complications. Grade I–III complications were seen in 20% of patients. Conclusion: RAPN is feasible and safe even with surgeons who have not much experience in robot assisted surgeries
