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 ...

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-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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
