Single-port robot-assisted retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy: First European case series.
Article in Journal of minimal access surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionSingle port robotic assisted retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy (SPRA-PN) represents a novel minimally invasive approach in urology. This study aims to present the first European case series of SPRA-PN, describing the initial experience, patient outcomes and potential benefits of this technique. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis prospective study included patients scheduled for retroperitoneoscopic surgery between 22 nd February 2022 and 6 th June 2023. All procedures were performed using the da Vinci Xi ® surgical system with a single-port access technique. Patient demographics, operative details, complications and post-operative outcomes were recorded. Cosmetic satisfaction was assessed using the Patient Scar Assessment Questionnaire.
resultsTen patients underwent SPRA-PN. Technical success was achieved in all cases, with no conversions to open surgery or additional ports required. The mean console time was 84.2 min, and the mean ischaemia time was 19.5 min. Post-operative pain remained low, with a mean visual analogue scale (VAS) of 2.5 at 48 h post-surgery. Positive margins were found in one case. Cosmetic satisfaction was reported to be high among patients.
conclusionThis initial case series demonstrates the feasibility and potential benefits of SPRA-PN using the da Vinci Xi platform in Europe. Further research is warranted to evaluate long-term outcomes and the widespread applicability of SPRA-PN.
