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 ...

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 ...

Validation of MSKCC-criteria in metastatic renal cancer patients treated with sorafenib or sunitinib. Background: Although nephron-sparing surgery is the standard of care for the treatment of small ...

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

Robotic assistance has been rapidly adopted by urologists for a wide range of surgical procedures involving the retroperitoneal space The rapid dissemination of robot-assisted techniques is ...

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 ...

Two studies compare certain outcomes of robotic-assisted vs. laparoscopic surgery for kidney removal or rectal cancer. Two studies published by JAMA compare certain outcomes of robotic-assisted vs ...

For patients with early kidney cancer, removing part of the kidney instead of the whole kidney is often a preferred treatment because the procedure can effectively remove tumors while preserving ...

The recently developed single-port, multichannel access approach to urologic surgery may allow many common laparoscopic and robotic procedures to be performed entirely through the patient’s umbilicus, ...

Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers find that outcomes of robotic assisted kidney cancer surgery, when performed by experienced surgeons at high volume centers, prove more beneficial to patients when ...
