Robot-Assisted versus Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy for Giant Sporadic Renal Angiomyolipomas of ≥7 cm: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis

CONCLUSION: RAPN and LPN are safe and feasible minimally invasive treatments for sporadic giant renal AMLs, but RAPN is associated with shorter WIT and better postoperative renal functional preservation. WIT and preoperative renal function are independent predictors of renal function at 6 months postoperatively, while the RENAL score and surgical method are independent risk factors to WIT. For giant and complex renal AMLs, RAPN is the first choice when condition permits.PMID:34484335 | PMC:PMC8416378 | DOI:10.1155/2021/6395876
