OBJECTIVES: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is often found incidentally in asymptomatic individuals undergoing abdominal computed tomography (CT) examinations. The purpose of our study is to develop a deep learning-based algorithm for fully automated dete...
The long-term split renal function after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to assess long-term renal function of RAPN, using renal scintigraphy, and to identify clinical factors related to deteriorat...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether criteria exist to guide election between the use the three- or four-arm technique in robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) instead of just the surgeon's preference.
Robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for completely endophytic renal tumors is challenging because of the tumor complexity. The enucleation technique is an ideal resection method to maximally preserve the renal parenchyma. In the p...
