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 ...

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-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 ...

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 ...

Introduction Robotic platforms automatically record intraoperative telemetry, but body mass index (BMI) effects on these micro-metrics are unclear. Aim To evaluate BMI–telemetry associations overall ...

Surgeons can safely perform two common operations from distances of up to 1,700 miles, a new study has found. This remarkable capability is akin to a medic based in southern Europe operating on a ...
