Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy with enucleative resection strategy for highly complex renal masses: Results from a high-volume referral cancer centre

Tumor excision (TE) is a fundamental step during partial nephrectomy (PN), yet underreported in the current series. We introduced the concepts of resection strategy (RS, the surgeon’s preoperative intent) and resection technique (RT, the actual surgical result) to describe the complexity of TE during PN in a standardized way across published series. In this video we describe in details the technique of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) performed with a pure enucleative RS for the treatment of highly complex renal masses.
