RUNC provides excellent outcomes with shorter hospital stay, less narcotic pain requirement, and decreased blood loss when compared with the open procedure. Advantages of the robotic platform for dissection and suturing can be useful for complex minimally invasive urologic reconstructive procedures.
The A and L subcategories of the RNS have no significant impact on the WIT of patients undergoing RPN. WIT is significantly dependent upon the other subcategories, as well as the overall RNS. These findings can be used to preoperatively predict which tumor characteristics will likely affect WIT and may be useful in preoperative counseling as well as planning of approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
