Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objectives: To report trifecta outcomes of our "off-clamp"partial nephrectomy (PN) patients operated without main renal artery and/or any selective/superselective clamping. Materials and Methods: Between April 2008 and March 2020, 52 patients received "off-clamp"robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. Postoperative sixth month estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and eGFR decrease were considered for renal function evaluation. Patients with negative surgical margins, <15% postoperative eGFR decrease and absence of grade ≥2 Clavien-Dindo complications were reported to achieve trifecta outcomes. Results: Mean age and body mass index of the patients were 57.51 ± 12.99 years and 27.23 ± 4.35 kg/m2, respectively. Mean preoperative hematocrit, serum creatinine, and eGFR were 42.01 ± 3.86%, 0.92 ± 0.28 mg/dL, and 85.26 ± 21.27 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively. Mean tumor size was 30.32 ± 13.64 mm. Mean PADUA and RENAL scores were 7.63 ± 1.46 and 6.21 ± 1.63, respectively. One patient had focal surgical margin positivity. Mean console time and estimated blood loss was 82.11 ± 38.51 minutes and 280.76 ± 278.98 mL, respectively. Complications were observed in two (4%) patients (one Clavien I, one Clavien IIIB). At postoperative sixth month, serum creatinine and eGFR were 0.95 ± 0.32 mg/dL and 83.65 ± 22.44 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively. Eventually seven patients had ≥15% postoperative eGFR decrease, one patient had grade ≥2 complication and one patient had positive surgical margin. Forty-three (83%) patients fulfilled trifecta outcomes. Conclusion: Off-clamp PN is important for optimal renal function preservation. Patient selection and additional operative measures along with experience in robotic procedure can contribute achievement of optimal trifecta outcomes.
