BACKGROUND: Although partial nephrectomy has become the gold standard for T1 renal tumors whenever technically feasible, simple enucleation has shown superior results. To the best of our knowledge, no randomized controlled trials comparing these two ...
RAPN can be carried out via a transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach. The choice between the two approaches is open to debate and usually based on surgeon preference. The perioperative outcomes of transperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrecto...
To evaluate the outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for solid and cystic renal tumors. We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus databases up to March 2023. Review Manager 5.4 performed a pooled ana...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the predictive factors for pentafecta achievement of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for intermediate highly complex renal tumors (RENAL score ≥ 7).
To compare the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) in the treatment of central renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs). We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 103 patients who...
T3a renal masses include a diverse group of tumors that invade the perirenal and/or sinus fat, pelvicaliceal system, or renal vein. The majority of cT3a renal masses represent renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and have historically been treated with radica...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Stage, Size, Grade and Necrosis (SSIGN) score is the most commonly used prognostic model in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients. It is a great challenge to preoperatively predict SSIGN score and outcome of ccR...
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether we can surpass the traditional R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score (H-score) prediction ability of pathologic outcomes by creating artificial intelligence (AI)-generated R.E.N.A.L.+ score (AI+ score) with continuous rather th...
BACKGROUND: Intraoperative kidney tumor rupture (TR) can occur during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in daily clinical practice, but there are no solid guidelines on the management and implications of it. The purpose of the study was to in...
