Associations were tested using logistic regression (penalized models for sparse outcomes), linear regression, and AUC; β represents the adjusted change in the outcome per 1-point increase in score.ResultsIn total, 109 patients were included (PADUA available in 108; RENAL in 83). Neither PADUA nor RENAL was independently associated with the composite adverse outcome, and discrimination was limited (PADUA AUC 0.583, 95% CI 0.411–0.733; RENAL AUC 0.563, 95% CI 0.347–0.775; p = 0.738). Both scores were associated with intraoperative metrics. Each 1-point increase in PADUA correlated with longer WIT (β 1.13 min; 95% CI 0.20–2.07; p = 0.019) and operative time (β 4.55 min; 95% CI 0.20–8.90; p = 0.043). Each 1-point increase in RENAL correlated with longer WIT (β 1.33 min; 95% CI 0.25–2.40; p = 0.018) and operative time (β 5.01 min; 95% CI 1.62–8.40; p = 0.005). Trifecta achievement was not significantly associated with either score.ConclusionIn patients with pathological pT1b or higher renal tumors treated with multiport RAPN, PADUA and RENAL scores were not associated with a 30-day composite adverse outcome and had limited discrimination for major morbidity and/or transfusion, but both correlated with WIT and operative time. Larger externally validated cohorts incorporating longitudinal renal function and broader patient-level risk factors are needed to refine preoperative risk assessment in larger renal tumors.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1735378 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1735378 2026-04-28T00:00:00Z Original Research Tieyuan SunLinna WeiPan HuXiaolong YouLubin LiuMingbo Liu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1663253 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1663253 2026-04-15T00:00:00Z Original Research Shichao SongTao MaJiandong WangYonggang LiZhu WangWenzeng YangZhenyu Cui https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1807432 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1807432 2026-04-15T00:00:00Z Brief Research Report Chaodong ShenMengqi ShiZhirong Zhu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1816916 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1816916 2026-04-14T00:00:00Z Original Research Vincenzo Li MarziGianluigi AdaniAlessio PecoraroClaudia Lucia CatucciGiorgio MichelettiRiccardo CampiNicoletta ManciantiGiulio BagnacciFrancesco SessaGuido GarosiSergio Serni https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1799916 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1799916 2026-04-13T00:00:00Z Original Research Leo F.

KellerAlexander Tamalunas 1,000 prior HoLEP surgeries), one moderately experienced (>200 prior HoLEP surgeries), and one novice surgeon (with no prior HoLEP surgeries) undergoing a structured training program. The evaluation focused on perioperative characteristics, functional results, and safety outcomes.ResultsWhile postoperative functional outcomes were comparable across all groups, experienced surgeons demonstrated a steeper learning curve. The highly experienced surgeon achieved proficiency approximately twice as quickly as the moderately experienced one. Surgeons with prior HoLEP experience reached a performance plateau in enucleation efficiency (g/min) and enucleation time (min) roughly twice as quickly, while requiring only about half the laser energy (kJ). Training a HoLEP-inexperienced surgeon in ThuLEP proved both feasible and safe when conducted within a structured training program.ConclusionsPulsed ThuLEP shows a learning curve comparable to HoLEP for inexperienced surgeons when performed following a structured training program. Switching lasers is safe and feasible for surgeons already experienced in HoLEP.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1717320 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1717320 2026-04-10T00:00:00Z Systematic Review Yan WangXiaoyan WangYu Gao https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1721410 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1721410 2026-04-07T00:00:00Z Original Research Xue ZengYang ChenSen LinYangyang XuZhichao LuoWenjie BaiJianxing LiBo Xiao https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1799215 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1799215 2026-03-30T00:00:00Z Case Report Qiang WangYiwei XuLang ChengXiaopeng ChenHoubao HuangPing Ao https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1791415 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1791415 2026-03-27T00:00:00Z Original Research Tengfei GuTing ChenYongtao PanQinzhou YuJie Li https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1730936 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1730936 2026-03-11T00:00:00Z Original Research Xiao YangHaonan ChenHao YuZhengye TanLingkai CaiQiang CaoQiang Lu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1761830 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1761830 2026-03-10T00:00:00Z Original Research Yuli LuoHongzhi FangChangjian ShiJie XuXinyi LiYunfei Li https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1783135 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1783135 2026-03-05T00:00:00Z Opinion Marilena GubbiottiStefano RosadiValentina GiommoniBarbara BigazziEmanuele Rubilotta https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1772261 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1772261 2026-03-02T00:00:00Z Original Research Zimei MoPuzhao LiangYongtong Ruan https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1785032 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1785032 2026-02-27T00:00:00Z Editorial Steffi Kar Kei YuenBo XiaoBhaskar Somani https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1769917 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1769917 2026-02-24T00:00:00Z Original Research Xiaodong QingXiangzheng WuWenbo Gao https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1718954 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1718954 2026-02-19T00:00:00Z Systematic Review Ce DongHao ZhengYuCheng JiangWeijie Chen
