ABSTRACT

5 cm in diameter)were enrolled in this study.Aomong the patients,17 underwent RLRN,and 14 patients received open radical nephrectomy(ORN).The outcomes of the two groups were compared.Results In both the groups,the operations were completed.The blood loss in RLRN group was less than that in ORN group [(245.9?75.5)ml vs(640.5?174.8)ml,t=-8.425,P=0.000].No significant difference was found between the two groups in operation time [(164.8?44.6)min vs(182.7?30.3)min,t=-1.277,P=0.212],postoperative hospital stay [(7.1?3.2)d vs(9.6?5.7)d,t=-1.541,P=0.134],and survival rate(Log-rank test,?2=0.243,P=0.622).Conclusion The efficacy of RLRN is similar to that of ORN.RLRN is safe and induce less blood loss.
