Open versus robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy in patients with intermediate/high-complexity kidney tumours: final results of the randomised, controlled, open-label, multicentre trial OpeRa

There was no statistically significant difference in the 30-day complication rate between RAPN and OPN in this underpowered trial. Few high-grade complications occurred over the whole cohort with intermediate/high-complexity tumours. Despite less intense pain management, patients undergoing RAPN reported less pain and better QoL up to POD30.
