Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy is an emerging technique that potentially provides advantages over conventional laparoscopic approaches. A retrospective multi-institutional study suggests that ...

Kidney cancer is among the most lethal of urologic malignancies. The rising incidence of kidney cancer is attributable to greater detection of incidental small renal masses (≤4 cm) from increased use ...

Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) led to a lower rate of complications compared with open partial nephrectomy (OPN) in patients with intermediate- or high-complexity kidney tumors, the ...

Partial nephrectomy in the setting of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Outcomes for a multi-institutional cohort of patients treated with intra-operative radiation therapy for advanced or recurrent ...

Preoperative metastatic disease burden to predict overall survival following cytoreductive nephrectomy independent of IMDC risk category. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2020 Genitourinary ...

In the treatment of small renal masses, robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) has a superior morbidity profile compared with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN), according to an updated meta-analysis ...

Robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) has increasingly been applied to the treatment of small renal masses. Because of space limitations and the size of the robot at the patient side, the standard ...

7-partial-nephrectomy-0516 Robotic partial nephrectomy offers similar oncologic outcomes to robotic radical nephrectomy, but is associated with better preservation of renal function. Robotic minimally ...

Robotic nephrectomy is a feasible, safe and oncologically effective surgical treatment for clinically localized RCC. However, current literature does not provide any advantage for RRN if compared to ...

After enduring seven prior abdominal surgeries, 64-year-old Joy Monetti from Islip was no stranger to painful procedures and lengthy recoveries.

Robotic and minimally invasive kidney cancer surgery may reduce pain, shorten recovery time and preserve kidney function, according to Dr. Armine Smith. Robotic and minimally invasive surgery for ...
