Surgical outcomes of robotic bilateral nephrectomy compared to open surgery in adult polycystic kidney disease.
Article in World journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeNative nephrectomies for patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) have traditionally been performed via an open approach. We have previously described our experience with robotic synchronous bilateral nephrectomies. However, little data is available comparing open nephrectomy (ONx) to robotic nephrectomy (RNx). Here we compare outcomes of ONx and RNx in patients with ADPKD undergoing synchronous bilateral nephrectomy.
methodsWe performed a retrospective review of patients with ADPKD undergoing open or robotic synchronous bilateral nephrectomy from January 2015 to November 2023 at a single institution. Patient characteristics, perioperative factors, kidney size, and complication rates were compared.
resultsOverall, seventeen patients underwent RNx and fifteen patients underwent ONx. There was no significant difference in gender, preoperative BMI, or kidney volume. Patients undergoing ONx had significantly higher estimated blood loss (EBL), length of stay (LOS), and higher rates of non-autologous blood transfusion and complications overall. Complications in the ONx group included 10 patients who required blood transfusions and 2 patients who sustained visceral injuries. Time from nephrectomy to transplant was significantly shorter in the RNx arm.
conclusionRobotic synchronous bilateral nephrectomies for ADPKD may have advantages over the traditional open approach, including lower EBL, shorter LOS, decreased overall complication rates, less severe complications and potentially faster time from nephrectomy to transplant.
