“…With these and many other promissory results, various techniques and instruments have been adapted from OPN to LPN, broadening its applicability in RCC cases (Gholami, Shekarriz, Rudnick, Duh, & Stoller, 2001; Klingler et al, 2006; Mascagni, Gossetti, Negro, Daffiná, & Catarci, 1995). At the beginning, LPN was limited to patients with superficial, solitary, small, and exophytic tumors, but the advancements of laparoscopic surgery in recent years fostered the expansion of this technique to more complicated cases such as larger, central, hilar, and infiltrating tumors (Haber & Gill, 2006a; Zhao et al, 2018). Consequently, despite the undeniable impact in the patient's quality of life, the quality of healthcare, and contribution to the progress of cancer treatment options, this evolution also leads to an increased technical difficulty, and, subsequently, an increase in the occurrence of associated surgical complications (Aron & Gill, 2007; Haber & Gill, 2006b; Pruthi et al, 2004).…”
