Study summary

Both laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) can be performed through transperitoneal (TP) or retroperitoneal (RP) approach. RP approach is less utilized than TP approach because of technical difficulties when using rigid laparoscopic instruments in the small space of retroperitoneum cavity. However, with advanced surgical skills and thoughtful patient selection, RP approach may be associated with shorter operative time (OT), less estimated blood loss (EBL), shorter length of hospital stay (LOS) compared with TP approach.

Therefore, the investigators performed randomized control trial to compare the outcomes of the two approaches (TP-LPN or RPN vs RP-LPN or RPN).

Read the detailed description

Partial nephrectomy is the standard treatment for small renal masses. The evolution of minimally invasive partial nephrectomy led to widespread utilization of laparoscopic (LPN) and robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN). Both LPN and RPN can be performed through transperitoneal (TP) or retroperitoneal (RP) approach. RP approach is less utilized than TP approach because of technical difficulties when using rigid laparoscopic instruments in the small space of retroperitoneum cavity. However, with advanced surgical skills and thoughtful patient selection, RP approach may be associated with shorter OT, less EBL, shorter LOS compared with TP approach.

Therefore, the investigators performed randomized control trial to compare the outcomes of the two approaches (TP-LPN or RPN vs RP-LPN or RPN).

The purpose of this study To compare the treatment outcomes of the transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approach during LPN or RPN in treatment of small renal masses.

Exclusion criteria

  1. Patients who underwent radical nephrectomy
  2. Patients with bilateral renal masses
  3. Patients with a solitary kidney
  4. Patients reject a written informed consent
  5. Pregnancy

The number of target subjects More than 106 patients who meet the inclusion criteria

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Operative time

    Operative time of partial nephrectomy

    Time frame: Intraoperative

Secondary outcomes

  1. Warm ischemic time (minutes)

    Vessel clamping time during partial nephrectomy

    Time frame: Intraoperative

  2. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by Clavien-Dindo classification

    Time frame: from date of surgery, to 1 year postoperatively

  3. Change of differential glomerular filtration rate (dGFR) measured by renal scan

    Time frame: Preoperative dGFR and postoperative 1 year

  4. Overall disease-free survival time (month)

    Disease free means no local recurrence, no metastasis.

    Time frame: from date of surgery, to 1 year postoperatively
