Two-year Follow-up for Oncological, Functional, and Quality-of-Life Outcomes in the Randomized ROBOCOP II Trial of Robot-assisted Versus Conventional Open Partial Nephrectomy

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the long-term oncological, functional, and quality-of-life outcomes of robot-assisted versus conventional surgery.
• Conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing RAPN and OPN
• Followed participants for two years
• Assessed postoperative morbidity, renal function, and quality of life
• Both surgical methods yielded excellent long-term outcomes
• RAPN showed lower postoperative morbidity compared to OPN
• RAPN did not compromise renal function or quality of life
