Renal function is the same 6 months after robot‐assisted partial nephrectomy regardless of clamp technique: analysis of outcomes for off‐clamp, selective arterial clamp and main artery clamp techniques, with a minimum follow‐up of 1 year

Abstract

Off-clamp and selective artery clamp techniques result in superior short-term renal functional outcomes compared with the main artery clamp approach; however, after the 6th postoperative month, there were no significant differences regarding the functional outcome among the above surgical techniques, as long as the warm ischaemia time was 20-30 min.
