Modified three-arm port configuration for single-position, single-docking robotic nephroureterectomy: perioperative and oncological outcomes

Key Points

This approach demonstrates satisfactory perioperative and initial oncological outcomes.
In a preliminary series, the three-arm technique shows promise for smaller patients.
The modified configuration may contribute to reduced operative costs when applied effectively.
Further validation in larger cohorts is necessary to confirm these findings.

Abstract

The modified three-arm port configuration appears to be a feasible and safe approach for single-docking RANU, particularly suited to patients with smaller body frames. It demonstrates satisfactory perioperative and initial oncological outcomes in this preliminary series. Furthermore, the three-arm technique may potentially reduce operative costs. This technique may offer a practical minimally invasive option for UTUC, though validation in larger cohorts is warranted.
