Randomized Clinical Trial Aimed at Comparing Unclamped Robotic Partial Nephrectomy With or Without Renorrhaphy

Robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) is the treatment of choice for organ-confined renal tumors. For to improve functional outcomes, we designed an off-clamp and suture-free approach (SL) to limit the ischemic damage and destruction of the renal parenchyma caused, respectively, by temporary closure of the vessels of the renal hilum and by renorrhaphy (RR) (i.e. by the juxtaposition of the margins of resection of the enucleation bed, which is commonly performed at the end of tumor exeresis using suture threads stopped by surgical clips)
