Introduction: Improved methods are being sought so that the existing low efficiencies can be dealt with for a better solution to the problem of renal cancer. The most promising method is robotic partial nephrectomy which uses a system of automated machines in the treatment of small renal masses as it shows reduced mortality, morbidity, and hospital stay. Aim: To systematically analyze articles to learn about robotic partial nephrectomy and how it has solved some of the current issues in the treatment of renal cancer. Materials and methods: The article systematically reviews 20 articles in the development of a literature review on the emerging technology of robotic partial nephrectomy. The articles are recent and have been published in the last five years. Results and outcome: The studies show the use of robotic partial nephrectomy produces better outcomes in terms of reduced mortality, morbidity, and the number of days a patient stayed in hospital after an operation. Conclusion: The use of robotic partial nephrectomy is the ideal treatment for patients that have renal cancer as it has better outcomes in almost all the researched areas.
Can robotic partial nephrectomy replace the ablative techniques in the treatment of small renal masses?
