Abstract

Abstract Background New Cross hospital has been offering radical/partial nephrectomy, nephro-ureterectomy for cancer patients and simple nephrectomy for non-functioning kidney with availability of robotic system facilities since 2016. Methodology Retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively between January 2019 and September 2019. All patients underwent nephrectomy/nephroureterectomy and their demographic, comorbidities and surgical outcomes data analysed. Results 7 underwent lap robotic nephroureterectomy, 27 underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, 4 underwent laparoscopic simple nephrectomy, compared to total of 13 combined cases in 2018. FtM ratio- 1:1.92(13:25). Mean cohort age 64. Mean cohort BMI is 28.3. Mean pre-op HB is 132.9. Average op time for nephroureterectomy is 247 minutes, nephrectomy is 108.2 minutes. Average blood lost is 70mls, no patient of the cohort required any blood transfusion. 1 case sustained splenic laceration had surgical repair, 1 case was abandoned due to extensive bowel involvement. No cases required conversion from laparoscopic to open procedure. Post operatively, 1 patient developed VT, 1 patient had subcut haematoma, Average increase in serum creatinine is 42, and average Hb drop is 10.7. Average admission period were 3.7 days. Conclusions Our urological centre manage to perform more laparoscopic nephroureteric procedures as compare to previous year without much decline in terms of patient surgical outcome.
