Across multiple comparative series and meta-analyses, RAPN offers equivalent oncologic control and functional preservation compared to OPN, while demonstrating reduced perioperative morbidity. Nonetheless, OPN remains valuable for tumors in hostile or re-operative fields, certain hereditary syndromes, solitary kidneys when cold ischemia is preferred, and settings without reliable robotic access. Declining open case exposure during training raises concerns about maintaining surgical competency. OPN remains an important option when use of the approach provides improved surgical exposure, ischemia management, intra-operative safety, or feasibility of nephron sparing. A pragmatic, surgeon-experience-based approach that prioritizes oncologic control, parenchymal preservation, and patient safety best serves individualized care.","PeriodicalId":11112,"journal":{"name":"Current Urology Reports","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147834223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These growing demands contribute to clinician burden and reduce time available for direct patient care. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potential strategy to streamline documentation workflows. This review evaluates current AI applications in clinical documentation, with illustrative examples from urologic practice.Recent findings: Ambient AI scribes can capture the bulk of outpatient encounters and generate structured draft notes that clinicians edit rather than write de novo. Large language models have shown promise in assisting with inpatient documentation and discharge summaries, often producing drafts that are coherent, readable, and shorter than physician-authored text. AI tools can also simplify patient education materials and translate dense radiology reports into accessible language. Across these domains, however, studies consistently demonstrate that AI-generated content remains vulnerable to factual errors, omissions, hallucinations, and misaligned emphasis, reinforcing the need for clinician oversight. Overall, emerging evidence supports a complementary relationship between clinicians and AI. Used as supervised drafting aids rather than autonomous authors, AI tools have the potential to ease documentation burden and create more time for direct patient care without diminishing the clinician's role in shaping the medical record.","PeriodicalId":11112,"journal":{"name":"Current Urology Reports","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147811955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
