Minimising warm ischaemia time during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. A video-based assessment of tumour excision, kidney reconstruction and intermediate time.

Tumour morphology influences all surgical times, and surgeon experience influences only ExcT. We observed a short RecT during RAPN though at the cost of increased ExcT, and we believe that improving surgical experience, especially for the excision of more complex tumours, can reduce WIT during RAPN.
