Surgical process of modified early unclamping technique in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. A. Dissociate the main renal artery and clamp with Bull-dog clamp; B. Completely remove the renal tumor with enucleation push method; C. Examine the wound surface and electrocoagulation with bipolar forceps for obvious bleeding points; D. Suture the inner wound with barbed suture; E. Tighten the inner suture and fix with Hem-o-lok clamp; F. Quickly suture the outer layer of barbed suture with large spacing for 2–3 stitches; G. Early unclamping of renal artery to restore the renal blood supply; H. Continue to align the outer wound edge with barbed suture; I. Complete the outer suture to observe whether there is active bleeding, and apply additional needles when necessary
