Abstract:Objective: To discuss the treatment and clinical experience of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal hilar tumors. Methods: The clinical data of 740 cases receiving robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) by 301st General Hospital from 2013 to 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 65 cases of renal hilar tumors, including left and right hilar tumors of 39 and 26 (1.5∶1), respectively. The tumors were located on the front lip in 36 cases and the rear lip in 23 cases, and there were 6 cases of complete endophytic renal tumors. Results: All operations were completed successfully. The mean operative time was 137 (range: 60-270) min, estimated blood loss was 64 (10-1 500) mL, warm ischemic time was 24.3 (10-118) min, and postoperative tube removal time was 3 (1-21) days. Pathologically, there were 51 cases of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (Furman nuclear grade Ⅰ-Ⅲ level), 3 cases of papillary renal cell carcinoma, 7 cases of angioleiomyolipoma, 2 cases of cystic renal cell carcinoma, 1 case of oncocytoma, and 1 case of renal adenocarcinoma. Surgical margins were negative for malignancy in all cases. During a follow-up period of 1 to 96 months, there were no metastasis, deaths, recurrence, and leakage, etc. Conclusions: Robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal hilar tumor is a safe and effective operation.
