Impact of tumor contact surface area on collecting system entry in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy: a retrospective analysis

Abstract Background Collecting system entry in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy may occur even in cases showing a low N factor in the R.E.N.A.L nephrometry score. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the tumor contact surface area with the adjacent renal parenchyma and attempted to construct a...
