Nephrology

Robotic Kidney Transplant: The Modern Era Technical Revolution.

Since the mid 20th century, transplantation has been a fast-developing field of contemporary medicine. The technical aspects of transplant operations were developed in the 1950s, with little significant change for >50 y. Those techniques allowed completion of various organ transplants and successful patient outcomes, but they also carried the inherent disadvantages of open surgery, such as postope...

[Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy with selective ischemia].

INTRODUCTION: Clamping of the renal artery during partial nephrectomy leads to renal ischemia and a deterioration of its function. An alternative to total ischemia is to isolate and clamp the segmental branch of the renal artery supplying the tumor.
