Abstract

Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has readily become the benchmark treatment of small renal masses (SRMs). The management of SRMs is focused on preserving renal function and limiting the morbidity of a traditional open operation, thus greatly impacting overall prognosis and long-term survival. Indications and techniques have evolved over the last 2 decades. In this article, we discuss the application of this nephron-sparing technique regarding its indications, surgical considerations, and functional outcomes.
