Although retroperitoneal surgery has demonstrated a better quality of recovery compared to transperitoneal routes, Retroperitoneal Robot Assisted Partial Nephrectomy (RRAPN) remains proportionally infrequent. As the boundaries of what is achievable r...
BACKGROUND: An empirical selective clamping strategy based on the direction of the arterial branches can lead to failures during partial nephrectomy, even when assisted by three-dimensional virtual models (3DVMs).
INTRODUCTION: Surgical removal of the tumor is a key step in the management of nephroblastoma. Less invasive surgical approaches such as robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RARN) has gained momentum over the past few years. This video presents a comp...
To investigate the efficacy and safety of single-port (SP) robotic transperitoneal (TP) and retroperitoneal (RP) partial nephrectomy. We sequentially analyzed 30 partial nephrectomy performed after the SP robot was introduced to the hospital in Sep...
BACKGROUND: The RENAL nephrometry score (RNS) is widely used to describe renal mass complexity and inform patient counseling for partial nephrectomy (PN). However, in cases with multiple tumors, it is unknown which features drive perioperative outcom...
Trends of kidney cancer cases worldwide are expected to increase persistently and this inspires the modification of the traditional diagnosis system to respond to future challenges. Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is the most common kidney cancer and resp...
Partial nephrectomy (PN) is one of the surgical treatment options for renal tumors. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of retroperitoneal PN for anterior and posterior tumors. This study enrolled 177 patients who ...
Selective clamping during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) may reduce ischemia-related functional impairment. The intraoperative use of 3D-virtual models (3DVMs) can improve surgical planning, resulting in a greater success rate for selectiv...
Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) was first described in 2004 and, since its introduction in clinical practice, has progressively gained increasing popularity. Over the years, the indications have also expanded, enabling robot-assisted surg...
