Metabolic evaluation of stone disease patients: a practical approach.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Previous robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) studies have identified various predictors of overall and major postoperative complications, but few have evaluated the specific role of these factors in the development of medical and surgical complications. In this study, we present an analysis of the mo...
