Abstract
We would like to thank the reviewers for their insightful comments. In our experience, we have reported low rates of pseudoaneurysm (PA) and urine leak after robotic partial nephrectomy utilizing the early unclamping (EU) technique. We agree that good surgical technique, experience of the surgeon and team, and elimination of bolsters are contributing factors that minimize complications. However in our opinion, the EU technique as described is the main difference here, not surgeon experience. The other series of partial nephrectomy discussed in our manuscript come from very accomplished surgeons, yet PA and urine leak still occurred, perhaps due to technique.
