Perioperative and Functional Outcomes of Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy in Octogenarian Men.

The functional and oncologic outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in octogenarians are not well studied. We sought to study the perioperative, functional, and oncologic outcomes of RARP in octogenarian men. Between January 2009 and 2019, 46 patients ≥80 years with localized prostate cancer (PCa) underwent RARP in three high-volume robotic urologic practices in the United State...

Long-Term Functional and Oncologic Outcomes of Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy for Cystic Renal Tumors: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

To evaluate the outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in cystic renal tumors. We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent RAPN for either cystic ( = 46) or solid ( = 271) renal tumors at Fujita Health University between 2010 and 2019. Cystic renal tumors were diagnosed using cross-sectional imaging. Perioperative, oncologic, and functional outcomes were assessed. The medi...
