Robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) has demonstrated improved postoperative morbidity and comparable oncologic outcomes compared to open partial nephrectomy (OPN). However, there is limited data regarding the utilization of RPN across different socio-economic strata and racial groups in the United States. We investigated trends and disparities in utilization of RPN for management of cT1 and cT2 renal masses. METHODS Patients who underwent RPN and OPN for clinical stage T1 and T2, N0, M0 renal masses from 2010 to 2013 were identified in the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB). Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate differences in receiving RPN across various patient groups. RESULTS A total of 23,681 patients fulfilled inclusion criteria. Utilization of RPN for management of cT1/cT2 renal masses significantly increased from 2010 to 2013 compared to OPN (Figure.1). Black (aOR=0.91, 95%CI: 0.84-0.99) and Hispanic (aOR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.76-0.94) patients were less likely to undergo RPN in favor of OPN. RPN was less likely to be performed in rural counties (aOR= 0.81, 95% CI: 0.66-0.98) and in patients with no insurance (aOR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.45-0.61) or patients covered by Medicaid (aOR=0.81, CI: 0.73-0.89). No significant difference was seen with respect to utilization of RPN between academic and non-academic facilities. Patients with higher clinical stage and co-morbidities were also less likely to undergo RPN (aOR=0.23, 95% CI: 0.15- 0.36 and 0.79, 95% CI: 0.71-0.87 respectively). CONCLUSIONS Utilization of RPN continues to increase over time; however, there is significant disparity in utilization of RPN based on socio-economic status and race. Black or Hispanic patients and patients in rural communities and with limited insurance were more likely to be treated with OPN instead of RPN. © 2017FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 197Issue 4SApril 2017Page: e1275 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2017MetricsAuthor Information Mahmoud Alameddine More articles by this author Tulay Koru-Sengul More articles by this author Feng Miao More articles by this author Luís Felipe Sávio More articles by this author Ian Zheng More articles by this author Vivek Venkatramani More articles by this author Nachiketh Soodana Prakash More articles by this author Joshua S Jue More articles by this author Bruno Nahar More articles by this author Chad Ritch More articles by this author Sanoj Punnen More articles by this author Dipen J.
