Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) has gained acceptance as a minimally invasive treatment option for small renal masses (SRMs). Laser‐assisted LPN (LLPN) provided a bloodless tumor excision without renal artery clamping owing to the excellent coagulative and hemostatic properties of the lasers. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the technical feasibility and outcomes of 2‐μm continuous thulium LLPN and conventional LPN (CLPN) in the treatment of patients with SRMs.
