Recommended practices that follow match-run sequences for hard-to-place kidneys succumb to many declines, accruing cold ischemic time and exacerbating kidney quality that may lead to unnecessary kidney discard. Hard-to-place deceased donor kidneys ac...
Renal cell carcinoma is among major causes of death in patients with Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome, and it usually presents with multiple and bilateral lesions that may require multiple renal surgeries. This, in turn, may compromise renal function...
Due to the increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease and its high mortality rate, study of risk factors affecting the progression of the disease is of great importance. Here in this work, we aim to develop a framework for using machine learning...

Multi-phase computed tomography (CT) is widely adopted for the diagnosis of kidney cancer due to the complementary information among phases. However, the complete set of multi-phase CT is often not available in practical clinical applications. In rec...
To evaluate the differences in baseline chronic kidney disease (CKD) status in correlations between warm ischemic time (WIT) and acute kidney injury (AKI) or acute/chronic renal function change after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). This ...

OBJECTIVES: To compare the postoperative outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy when only the inner layer is sutured (single-layer technique with soft coagulation) with those when sutures are placed in the inner and outer layers (double-layer...

BACKGROUND: Ipsilateral synchronous renal and ureteric tumor is uncommon. Nephron sparing surgery is the standard for small renal masses. Ureteric tumors can be selectively managed with nephron sparing surgery, especially in renal dysfunction. This c...
Effective learning and modelling of spatial and semantic relations between image regions in various ranges are critical yet challenging in image segmentation tasks.We propose a novel deep graph reasoning model to learn from multi-order neighborhood t...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To evaluate recent literature regarding the role of robotic technology in the treatment of nephrolithiasis with particular attention to complex technical procedures.

Although still in its infancy, artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of kidney biopsy images is anticipated to become an integral aspect of renal histopathology. As these systems are developed, the focus will understandably be on developing ever more...
