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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Routine use of expensive hemostatic agents during RALPN does not seem to be justified. The use of hemostatic agents (HAs) during standard robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) does ...

Minimally invasive techniques enable partial nephrectomies, preserving kidney function in most kidney cancer cases. Multidisciplinary care integrates surgery with targeted therapies and ...

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 ...
