Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Theaim of this study was to assess preoperative factors associated with benign histology in patients undergoing surgical removal of a renal mass and to analyze outcomes of robotic partial nephrectomy (PN) and radical nephrectomy (RN) for these masses.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Overall, 2,944 cases (543 benign and 2,401 malignant) who underwent robotic PN and RN between 2003-2018 at 10 institutions worldwide were included. The assessment of the predictors of benign histology was made at the final surgical pathology report. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U, Pearson's χ

RESULTS: Patients in the benign group were mostly female (61 vs. 33%; p < 0.001), with lower body mass index (BMI) (26.0 vs. 27.1 kg/m

CONCLUSIONS: In 18% of cases, a benign histologic type was found. Only 3% of these tumors were treated with RN. Female gender, lower BMI, and higher T staging showed to be independent predictors of benign histology.
