Single-Port Partial Nephrectomy: State of the Art and Future Directions
SP-RAPN is a safe and feasible evolution of nephron-sparing surgery with outcomes comparable to MP-RAPN. The retroperitoneal and LAA approaches offer notable perioperative and anesthesiological advantages. Proper patient selection and structured training programs are key to optimizing outcomes and overcoming technical challenges. Future advances in robotic technology and digital integration will further enhance the role of SP-RAPN in minimally invasive urologic surgery.
