BACKGROUND: Extended pelvic nodal dissection (ePLND) represents the gold standard for nodal staging in prostate cancer (PCa). Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioguided surgery (RGS) could identify lymph node invasion (LNI) during robot-as...
The demand for telesurgery is rising rapidly, but robust evidence regarding the feasibility of its application in urology is still rare. From March to October 2021, a surgeon-controlled surgical robot in a tertiary hospital in Qingdao was used to rem...
BACKGROUND: Despite an expected increase in prostate cancer (PCa) incidence in the renal transplant recipient (RTR) population in the near future, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in these patients has been poorly detailed. It is not well ...
We describe the first five robot-assisted radical prostatectomies (RARPs) performed with the new Hugo RAS system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) in Europe. The five patients underwent RARP ± lymph node dissection at OLV Hospital (Aalst, Belgium). A...
