Background: A standard of care for the treatment of small renal masses is partial nephrectomy. The open and laparoscopic approaches have been well described in the literature. Robotic assistance may ...

The probability of surgical success with telesurgery for radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy for small renal masses was non-inferior to local robotic surgery in a small randomized trial. The ...

Surgeons with greater skill in RAPN upon evaluation had lower rates of extended hospital stay, estimated blood loss, positive surgical margins, emergency department visits, and hospital readmissions.

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 ...

WIT measures the time the organ remains at body temperature after its blood supply has been cut off. The “safe” duration of warm ischemia during partial nephrectomy remains controversial. Examining ...

For completely endophytic kidney tumors, which grow inward, both open partial nephrectomy (OPN) and robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) led to excellent patient outcomes in a recent study. When ...

An international study examined outcomes between a single-port (SP) versus a multi-port (MP) approach to RAPN, with a focus on elderly patients. Despite similar demographics among patients ≤64 years ...

University of Iowa Health Care says a recent surgical milestone could expand access to life-saving kidney transplants across the state.Transplant surgeon Ramy E ...
