This statistic shows the distribution of events in laparoscopic vs. robot-assisted radical nephrectomy in the U.S. between 2003 and 2015. In the given period, postoperative complications of any kind occurred in 23.4 percent of laparoscopic radical nephrectomies, while the percentage stood at 22.2 percent for the same procedure performed with robot-assisted surgery.

Supplementary notes
Among 23,753 patients included in the study (mean age, 61.4 years; men, 13,792
[58.1%]), 18,573 underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and 5,180 underwent
robotic-assisted radical nephrectomy.
Values are adjusted for age, sex, race, Charlson comorbidity index, insurance status, teaching status, number of beds, hospital location, surgery year, and hospital clustering.
* Postoperative complications were defined as any (Clavien grades 1-5) or major (Clavien grades 3-5).
