Clinical and perioperative metrics were collected and analyzed using univariable statistical tests.

The average length of stay was 1.4 days, and the average estimated blood loss was 60.3 mL. The 30-day complication rate was 3.2%, representing one case of chylous ascites. Nationally, R-RPLND utilization increased from 2.5% in 2012 to 8.3% in 2021. Patients with stages II and III disease were less likely to receive robotic surgery compared to those with stage I disease (odds ratio [OR]: 0.383, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.167\u20130.880,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.024 for stage II; OR: 0.231, 95% CI: 0.098\u20130.545,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.001 for stage III).
