Abstract:
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.
