Abstract:
【Objective】 To investigate the efficacy and safety of using the fourth arm in retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (PN) for cT1b stage renal tumors. 【Methods】 Clinical data of 49 patients with cT1b stage renal tumors who underwent retroperitoneal robot-assisted PN performed by the same surgeon in our hospital during Jan.2022 and Dec.2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into two groups based on whether the fourth arm was used or not: application group (n=21) and non-application group (n=28).The basic information, operation time, warm ischemia time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications and other data were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 All operations were successful, with no conversion to open surgery or radical nephrectomy.The application group had significantly shorter operation time \[(128.76±31.58) min vs.(151.11±33.21) min, P=0.021\], shorter warm ischemia time \[(24.67±4.80) min vs.(27.61±3.54) min, P=0.017\], and less intraoperative blood loss \[(109.05±39.99) mL vs.(139.29±54.43) mL, P=0.037\] compared with the non-application group.The increase of postoperative creatinine was (18.64±16.05) μmol/L in the application group and (20.30±13.49) μmol/L in the non-application group respectively.Complications occurred in 3 cases in the application group and 5 cases in the non-application group, with no significant difference (P>0.05) . 【Conclusion】 When we perform the retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for cT1b stage renal tumors, using the fourth arm can shorten the operation time and warm ischemia time, and reduce the intraoperative blood loss, which should be applied more in clinic.
