In a recent meta-analysis reported in BJUI, Zhang et al. [1] looked at the peri-operative outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) vs those of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). Their study represents the third metaanalysis carried out over the last year [1–3], which is testament to the growing interest on this topic that is driven by the rapid spread of robot-assisted kidney surgery.
