Original Article- Laparoscopy/Robotics The Nephrometry Score: Is It Effective for Predicting Perioperative Outcome During Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy?

Purpose: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RPN) has emerged as an alternative treatment for the management of small renal masses. This study was designed to inves-tigate parameters that predict perioperative outcomes during RPN. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 113 pa-tients who underwent RPN between September 2008 and May 2012 at the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. Clinical parameters, including warm ischemi
