A Single Port (SP) Approach Reduces the Risk of Postoperative Complications in Elderly Patients Undergoing Robotic-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy (RAPN)
In the present study, elderly patients undergoing SP RAPN did not demonstrate higher complication rates, EBL or hospitalization days compared to their younger counterparts. Moreover, an SP approach was found protective for 30-day postoperative complications. Our results suggest that SP RAPN is feasible and safe in older and frailer patients.
