Urine Leak After Partial Nephrectomy: A Rare Complication After Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy

In this systematic review, we looked at the rate of urine leakage from kidney after surgical removal tumors. Urine leak (UL) is a common post-operative complication partial nephrectomy (PN). The reported incidence varies in literature, and there are no well-established guidelines for management UL PN. goal study to report most strategies For our quantitative synthesis, review articles related PN April 2010 2020 was performed using PubMed EMBASE. 475 total records were found, which 40 on UL.

Most these leaks heal time into ureter surgery. We found less surgery versus
