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
Abstract
RAPN and OPN yielded excellent long-term outcomes. RAPN offers advantages in terms of postoperative morbidity without compromising renal function or QOL.
