The surgical approach for RAPN. (A) The using of the retroperitoneal approach was performed with patients positioned in a 90° lateral flank posture. Robotic port placement was templated, utilizing robotic arms 1, 2, and 3. Robotic arm 1 was equipped with monopolar scissors, robotic arm 2 was used for the camera, and robotic arm 3 was fitted with bipolar cautery. Additionally, a 12 mm 1 assistant port was placed on the ventral side. (B) The surgical procedures for RAPN using the Transperitoneal approach were performed with patients in a contralateral decubitus position. On this Template of port placement, Robotic arm 1 and 3 are used for instruments and Robotic arm 2 for camera is inserted. The two-assistant port (Assistant 1 port and assistant 2 port) were inserted on the midline, 5 cm above and below the umbilicus, respectively.
