Abstract
Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy is associated with a learning curve, necessitating proficiency in robotic renal dissection, hilar control, and subsequent mass excision and renorrhaphy. The Gelport can be used during these procedures to expedite initial control of the renal pedicle and to add to the surgeon's comfort level while transitioning to this procedure.
