Enucleation versus enucleoresection in robotic partial nephrectomy: Real-world data from the multicenter YAU kidney cancer database

This benefit must be balanced against a slightly higher risk of positive margins, reinforcing the necessity of thoughtful case selection and standardized surgical technique.
