Robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RRN) is increasingly utilized as an alternative to laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN), but there are concerns over costs and objective benefit. In the setting of very large renal masses (>10 cm), comparison be...
There have been insufficient data regarding the impact of partial nephrectomy (PN) with minimal invasive approaches, including robot-assisted PN (RAPN), on postoperative quality of life (QOL) in patients with small renal mass (SRM). The objective of...

The background of abdominal computed tomography (CT) images is complex, and kidney tumors have different shapes, sizes and unclear edges. Consequently, the segmentation methods applying to the whole CT images are often unable to effectively segment t...
The clinical data of 22 patients with giant renal hamartoma in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery from October 2014 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients s...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Artificial intelligence holds tremendous potential for disrupting clinical medicine. Here we review the current role of artificial intelligence in the kidney cancer space.
The proliferation of synthetic data in artificial intelligence for medicine and healthcare raises concerns about the vulnerabilities of the software and the challenges of current policy.
