Thematic Session 2
11.00 - 12.00 What are the limitations of minimally invasive surgery?
Yellow Hall 1-2-3 - Level N1
Chair: A. Breda, Barcelona (ES)
11.00 - 11.15 State-of-the art lecture Do long-term outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy justify the costs?
M. Stöckle, Homburg (DE)
11.15 - 11.30 State-of-the-art lecture What are the limits of laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery?
A. Volpe, Novara (IT)
Aims and objectives
In experienced hands laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) for localised renal tumors achieves similar
oncologic outcomes of open partial nephrectomy, with the known advantages of minimal invasiveness.
However, LPN is a challenging technique which is associated with a higher risk of complications and a longer
warm ischemia time, with the related potential effects on postoperative renal function. Modern techniques
can limit or even avoid ischemia during LPN, but their feasibility in the hands of less experienced surgeons
has not been assessed. Overall, the limits of LPN significantly depend on the laparoscopic experience and
skills of each single surgeon. Although formal cost analysis and longer follow-up are needed, the ability
of robotic assistance to reduce the technical challenges and overcome the limits of the pure laparoscopic
approach are already being realised and are likely to become more evident with time and increasing
expertise.
