Three-dimensional reconstruction and intraoperative ultrasonography: Crucial tools to safely approach highly complex renal masses

Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is rapidly increasing its role in the nephron-sparing surgery setting (1). The recent introduction of technological advancements is leading more experienced surgeons to approach complex renal mass with a conservative intent (2, 3). In particular, three-dimensional reconstruction and the use of intraoperative ultrasonography are gaining attention as crucial tools to safely and effectively approach complex cases (4, 5). We aimed to video-report the management of highly complex renal mass treated with RAPN, focusing on preoperative surgical planning and intraoperative technical nuances.
