Comparison of Outcomes of Multiple Platforms for Assisted Robotic-Kidney (COMPAR-K)

The Urology Unit of AOUI Verona proposes a clinical study aimed at a preliminary evaluation of postoperative complications specifically focused on robotic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) procedures using two currently available platforms:

* DaVinci®; * Hugo®.

The questions it aims to answer are:

Does the estimation of the post-operative complications suggest something? Are differences (intra- and post-operative, oncological, functional, technical, and economic) among the three intervention approaches observable?

Participants will be invited to join one of these two experimental group:

1. surgery with the DaVinci platform; 2. surgery with the Hugo platform.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with postoperative complications

    Time frame: Over the 4 days post surgery

    Overall postoperative complications (% score >0) are considered by Clavien-Dindo Classification 7 grades (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb and V): the higher the grade, the higher the severity of the complication

  2. Number of participants with moderate to major postoperative complications

    Time frame: Over the 4 days post surgery

    Moderate to major complications (% score >=2) are considered by Clavien-Dindo Classification 7 grades (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb and V): the higher the grade, the higher the severity of the complication

  3. Number of participants with major postoperative complications

    Time frame: Over the 4 days post surgery

    Major complications (% score >=3) are considered by Clavien-Dindo Classification 7 grades (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb and V): the higher the grade, the higher the severity of the complication

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall duration of the surgery

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Minutes

  2. Number of intraoperative complications

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Proportion of events

  3. Type of intraoperative complications

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Note of the event detail

  4. Number of intraoperative technical malfunctions

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Proportion of events

  5. Type of intraoperative technical malfunctions

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Note of the event detail

  6. Estimated Blood Loss

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Volume

  7. Postoperative hospitalization

    Time frame: From the day after surgery up to 10 days postoperative

    Days of recovery until the date of discharge

  8. Postoperative pain

    Time frame: 1-4 days postoperative

    Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 0-10 scale for the self-reported rate of pain: zero meaning "no pain" and 10 meaning "the worst pain imaginable"

  9. Positive Surgical Margins

    Time frame: Up to 2 weeks postoperative (at the end of histological analysis)

    Rate after histological examination

  10. Serum Creatinine dosage for renal function assessment

    Time frame: 1 month, 3 and 6 months follow-up

    Creatinine test

  11. Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate for renal function assessment

    Time frame: 1 month, 3 and 6 months follow-up

    eGFR calculation estimated by EPI-CKD formula

  12. Time taken for platform related timings

    Time frame: From the room setting, through the overall surgical procedure, until postoperative room restoration for each of expected 45 surgeries (through study completion: about 4 months)

    Configuration of the surgical table, Draping, Undraping, Docking, Undocking

  13. Procedure-related costs

    Time frame: From surgical procedure to the end of follow-up period (6 months)
