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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Telesurgery was as reliable as standard robotic surgery for two common urological procedures, according to a small Chinese randomized trial. Use of telesurgery -- operating on a patient remotely using ...

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 ...

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 ...

Personalized treatment for urologic cancers involves bladder preservation or partial nephrectomy, considering tumor characteristics and patient health to maximize quality of life and organ function.
