Bench Surgery with Robot-assisted Kidney Autotransplantation for Complex Kidney Tumors: Technique and Outcomes from a Single Center
We evaluated the outcomes of bench surgery (BenS) with robot-assisted kidney autotransplantation (RAKAT), in which the diseased kidney is removed, undergo partial nephrectomy (PN) extracorporeally, and is transplanted back robotically. We found that for patients with complex solitary or bilateral kidney tumors who are not eligible for in situ PN, BenS with RAKAT is a safe and feasible alternative of nephron-sparing surgery with acceptable functional and oncological outcomes.
