    Abstract RAPN training usually takes place in-vivo and methods vary across countries/institutions. No common system exists to objectively assess trainee capacity to perform RAPN at predetermined performance levels prior to in-vivo practice. The identification of objective performance metrics for RAPN training is a crucial starting point to improve training and surgical outcomes. The authors sought to examine the reliability, construct and discriminative validity of objective intraoperative performance metrics which best characterize the optimal and suboptimal performance of a reference approach for training novice RAPN surgeons. Seven Novice and 9 Experienced RAPN surgeons video recorded one or two independently performed RAPN procedures in the human. The videos were anonymized and two experienced urology surgeons were trained to reliably score RAPN performance, using previously developed metrics. The assessors were blinded to the performing surgeon, hospital and surgeon group. They independently scored surgeon RAPN performance. Novice and Experienced group performance scores were compared for procedure steps completed and errors made. Each group was divided at the median for Total Errors score, and subgroup scores (i.e., Novice HiErrs and LoErrs, Experienced HiErrs and LoErrs) were compared. The mean inter-rater reliability (IRR) for scoring was 0.95 (range 0.84-1). Compared with Novices, Experienced RAPN surgeons made 69% fewer procedural Total Errors. This difference was accentuated when the LoErr Expert RAPN surgeon's performance was compared with the HiErrs Novice RAPN surgeon's performance with an observed 170% fewer Total Errors. GEARS showed poor reliability (Mean IRR = 0.44; range 0.0-0.8), for scoring RAPN surgical performance. The RAPN procedure metrics reliably distinguish Novice and Experienced surgeon performances. They further differentiated performance levels within a group with similar experiences. Reliable and valid metrics will underpin quality-assured novice RAPN surgical training.

    Abstract Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is a complex and index procedure that urologists need to learn how to perform safely. No validated performance metrics specifically developed for a RAPN training model (TM) exist. A Core Metrics Group specifically adapted human RAPN metrics to be used in a newly developed RAPN TM, explicitly defining phases, steps, errors, and critical errors. A modified Delphi meeting concurred on the face and content validation of the new metrics. One hundred percent consensus was achieved by the Delphi panel on 8 Phases, 32 Steps, 136 Errors and 64 Critical Errors. Two trained assessors evaluated recorded video performances of novice and expert RAPN surgeons executing an emulated RAPN in the newly developed TM. There were no differences in procedure Steps completed by the two groups. Experienced RAPN surgeons made 34% fewer Total Errors than the Novice group. Performance score for both groups was divided at the median score using Total Error scores, into HiError and LoError subgroups. The LowErrs Expert RAPN surgeons group made 118% fewer Total Errors than the Novice HiErrs group. Furthermore, the LowErrs Expert RAPN surgeons made 77% fewer Total Errors than the HiErrs Expert RAPN surgeons. These results established construct and discriminative validity of the metrics. The authors described a novel RAPN TM and its associated performance metrics with evidence supporting their face, content, construct, and discriminative validation. This report and evidence support the implementation of a simulation-based proficiency-based progression (PBP) training program for RAPN.

    Abstract Background: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) training usually takes place in vivo, and methods vary across countries/institutions. No common system exists to objectively assess trainee ability to perform RAPN at predetermined performance levels prior to in vivo practice. The identification of objective performance metrics for RAPN training is a crucial starting point to improve training and surgical outcomes.
    Objective: We sought to identify objective performance metrics that best characterize a reference approach to RAPN, and obtain face and content validity from procedure experts through a modified Delphi meeting.
    Design, setting, and participants: During a series of online meetings, a core metrics team of three RAPN experts and a senior behavioral scientist performed a detailed task deconstruction of a transperitoneal left-sided RAPN procedure.
    Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: Based on published guidelines, manufacturers' instructions, and unedited videos of RAPN, the team identified performance metrics that constitute an optimal approach for training purposes. The metrics were then subjected to an in-person modified international Delphi panel meeting with 19 expert surgeons.
    Results and limitations: Eleven procedure phases, with 64 procedure steps, 43 errors, and 39 critical errors, were identified. After the modified Delphi process, the international expert panel added 13 metrics (two steps), six were deleted, and three were modified; 100% panel consensus on the resulting metrics was obtained. Limitations are that the metrics are applicable only to left-sided RAPN cases and some might have been excluded.
    Conclusions: Performance metrics that accurately characterize RAPN procedure were developed by a core group of experts. The metrics were then presented to and endorsed by an international panel of very experienced peers. Reliable and valid metrics underpin effective, quality-assured, structured surgical training for RAPN.
    Patient summary: We organize a meeting among robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) experts to identify and reach consensus on objective performance metrics for RAPN training. The metrics are a crucial starting point to improve and quality assure surgical training and patients' clinical outcomes.

    Abstract Introduction: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a transmembrane protein expressed by normal prostatic tissue. Therefore, molecular imaging targeting PSMA (PSMA-PET) has gained particular interest and diffusion for PCa staging and restaging. Several factors may affect PSMA-PET results, and many tools have been proposed to improve patient selection. Furthermore, PSMA expression is not homogeneous among different tissues and within the prostate itself. The aims of this study were to evaluate immunohistochemistry (IHC) features of prostate biopsy samples and to assess their correlation with whole-mount specimens and PSMA-PET parameters.
    Methods: We included consecutive high-risk PCa patients who underwent PSMA-PET for staging proposal at our institution from January 2022 to December 2022. The PET parameters selected were SUVmax, total volume (TV), and total lesion activity (TL). Each patient underwent multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and fusion-targeted prostate biopsy prior to surgery. IHC analyses were performed on the index lesion cores. IHC visual score (VS) (1, 2, 3) and visual pattern (VP) (membranous, cytoplasmic, and combined) and the percentage of PSMA-negative tumor areas (PSMA%neg) within biopsy cores were evaluated.
    Results: Forty-three patients who underwent robotic radical prostatectomy after PSMA-PET were available for analyses. Concordance between VS and VP at biopsy and final pathology showed a Cohen's kappa coefficient of 0.39 and 0.38, respectively. Patients with PSMA%neg <20% had a higher concordance in VS and VP (Cohen's kappa 0.49 and 0.4, respectively). No difference emerged in terms of median PSMA-TV (
    Conclusions: We found a correlation between IHC VS and VP on targeted biopsy cores and SUVmax at PSMA-PET. However, the correlation between the IHC parameters of biopsy cores and final pathology was not as high as expected. Nevertheless, the presence of PSMA%neg <20% seems to have a better concordance in terms of visual score.

    Abstract Background: Selective clamping during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) requires extensive knowledge on patient-specific renal vasculature, obtained through imaging.
    Objective: To validate an in-house developed perfusion zone algorithm that provides patient-specific three-dimensional (3D) renal perfusion information.
    Design, setting, and participants: Between October 2020 and June 2022, 25 patients undergoing RAPN at Ghent University Hospital were included. Three-dimensional models, based on preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans, showed the clamped artery's ischemic zone, as calculated by the algorithm.
    Surgical procedure: All patients underwent selective clamping during RAPN. Indocyanine green (ICG) was administered to visualize the true ischemic zone perioperatively. Surgery was recorded for a postoperative analysis.
    Measurements: The true ischemic zone of the clamped artery was compared with the ischemic zone predicted by the algorithm through two metrics: (1) total ischemic zone overlap and (2) tumor ischemic zone overlap. Six urologists assessed metric 1; metric 2 was assessed objectively by the authors.
    Results and limitations: In 92% of the cases, the algorithm was sufficiently accurate to plan a selective clamping strategy. Metric 1 showed an average score of 4.28 out of 5. Metric 2 showed an average score of 4.14 out of 5. A first limitation is that ICG can be evaluated only at the kidney surface. A second limitation is that mainly patients with impaired renal function are expected to benefit from this technology, but contrast-enhanced CT is required at present.
    Conclusions: The proposed new tool demonstrated high accuracy when planning selective clamping for RAPN. A follow-up prospective study is needed to determine the tool's clinical added value.
    Patient summary: In partial nephrectomy, the surgeon has no information on which specific arterial branches perfuse the kidney tumor. We developed a surgeon support system that visualizes the perfusion zones of all arteries on a three-dimensional model and indicates the correct arteries to clamp. In this study, we validate this tool.

    Abstract Background: Patients with multiple ipsilateral renal masses have an augmented risk of metachronous contralateral lesions and are likely to undergo repeated surgeries. We report our experience with the technologies currently available and the surgical techniques to preserve healthy parenchyma while guaranteeing oncological radicality during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).
    Methods: The data were collected at three tertiary-care centers, where 61 patients with multiple ipsilateral renal masses were treated with RAPN between 2012 and 2021. RAPN was performed with da Vinci Si or Xi surgical system using TilePro (Life360; San Francisco, CA, USA), indocyanine green fluorescence and intraoperative ultrasound. Three-dimensional reconstructions were built in some cases preoperatively. Different techniques were employed for hilum management. The primary endpoint is to report intra- and postoperative complications. Secondary endpoints were the estimated blood loss (EBL), warm ischemia time (WIT) and positive surgical margins (PSM) rate.
    Results: Median preoperative size of the largest mass was 37.5 mm (24-51) with a median PADUA and R.E.N.A.L. score of 8 (7-9) and 7 (6-9). One hundred forty-two tumors were excised, with a mean number of 2.32. The median WIT was 17 (12-24) minutes, and the median EBL was 200 (100-400) mL. Intraoperative ultrasound was employed in 40 (67.8%) patients. The rate of early unclamping, selective clamping and zero-ischemia were respectively 13 (21.3%), 6 (9.8%) and 13 (21.3%). ICG fluorescence was employed in 21 (34.42%) patients and three-dimensional reconstructions were built in 7 (11.47%) patients. Three (4.8%) intraoperative complications occurred, all classified as grade-1 according to EAUiaiC. Postoperative complications were reported in 14 (22.9%) cases with 2 Clavien-Dindo grade >2 complications. Four (6.56%) patients had PSM. Mean period of follow-up was 21 months.
    Conclusions: In experienced hands, with the employment of the currently available technologies and surgical techniques, RAPN can guarantee optimal outcomes in patients with multiple ipsilateral renal masses.

    Abstract Objective: In the last years, robotic surgery was introduced in several different settings with good perioperative results. However, its role in the management of adrenal masses is still debated. In order to provide a contribution to this field, we described our step-by-step technique for robotic adrenalectomy (RA) and related modifications according to the type of adrenal mass treated.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 27 consecutive patients who underwent RA at Onze-Lieve-Vrouw hospital (Aalst, Belgium) between January 2009 and October 2022. Demographic, intra- and post-operative, and pathological data were retrieved from our prospectively maintained institutional database. Continuous variables are summarized as median and interquartile range (IQR). Categorical variables are reported as frequencies (percentages).
    Results: Twenty-seven patients underwent RA were included in the study. Median age, body mass index, and Charlson's comorbidity index were 61 (IQR: 49-71) years, 26 (IQR: 24-29) kg/m
    Conclusion: We described our step-by-step technique for RA, which can be safely performed even in case of high challenging settings as malignant tumors, pheochromocytoma, and large masses. The standardization of perioperative protocol should be encouraged to maximize the outcomes of this complex surgical procedure.

    Abstract Introduction: Bladder neck dissection is one of the most delicate surgical steps of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) [1, 2], and it may affect surgical margins rate and functional outcomes [3, 4]. Given the relationship between outcomes and surgical experience [5-7], it is crucial to implement a step-by-step approach for each surgical step of the procedure, especially in the most challenging part of the intervention. In this video compilation, we described the techniques for bladder neck dissection utilized at OLV Hospital (Aalst, Belgium).
    Surgical technique: We illustrated five different techniques for bladder neck dissection during RARP. The anterior technique tackles the bladder neck from above until the urethral catheter is visualized, and then the dissection is completed posteriorly. The lateral and postero-lateral approaches involve the identification of a weakness point at the prostate-vesical junction and aim to develop the posterior plane - virtually until the seminal vesicles - prior to the opening of the urethra anteriorly. Finally, we described our techniques for bladder neck dissection in more challenging cases such as in patients with bulky middle lobes and prior surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia. All approaches follow anatomic landmarks to minimize positive surgical margins and aim to preserve the bladder neck in order to promote optimal functional recovery. All procedures were performed with DaVinci robotic platforms using a 3-instruments configuration (scissors, fenestrated bipolar, and needle driver). As standard protocol at our Institution, urinary catheter was removed on postoperative day two [8].
    Conclusions: Five different approaches for bladder neck dissection during RARP were described in this video compilation. We believe that the technical details provided here might be of help for clinicians who are starting their practice with this surgical intervention.
