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 ...

The treatment paradigm of renal cell carcinoma has evolved over time, towards increasingly minimally-invasive and conservative approaches, with robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) emerging as ...

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 ...

Surgery remains the only curative treatment for non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Partial nephrectomy (PN) is recommended for managing localized small RCC according to renal function and ...

Jeffrey Ford’s near-death experience was the start of an ongoing hero’s journey where the “hero” isn’t only Ford, but the ...

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 ...

In a retrospective study of patients treated at expert centers, RAPN for localized cT2 renal tumors did not compromise oncologic outcomes and better preserved renal function compared with minimally ...
