OBJECTIVE: Conventional laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) has inherent limitations due to its rigid structure. The robotic system is a newly developed technology equipped with a flexible EndoWrist that offers good performance in delicate motions. Our obje...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) has been rapidly adopted as a standard approach for surgical treatment of organ-confined prostate cancer. Despite additional costs, RALP seems to provide better functional and oncol...
BACKGROUND: In recent years, small renal masses (SRM) have been increasingly detected as an incidental finding of radiological or ultrasound studies for other indications. Organ-sparing renal tumor resection as open partial nephrectomy (OPN) is the i...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive approaches to kidney transplantation (KT) have been described recently. However, information concerning perioperative management in these patients is lacking. Accordingly, in the current study, we describe our periopera...
