BACKGROUND: Although partial nephrectomy has become the gold standard for T1 renal tumors whenever technically feasible, simple enucleation has shown superior results. To the best of our knowledge, no randomized controlled trials comparing these two ...
RAPN can be carried out via a transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach. The choice between the two approaches is open to debate and usually based on surgeon preference. The perioperative outcomes of transperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrecto...
Pentafecta (continence, potency, cancer control, free surgical margins, and no complications) is an important outcome of prostatectomy. Our objective was to assess the pentafecta achievement between nerve-spring and non-nerve-sparing robot-assisted r...
PURPOSE: This study investigated the oncological and functional surgical outcomes for patients with renal tumor who underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (PN) by a single surgeon in Taiwan from 2006 to 2019.
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this feasibility study was to test the intraoperative use of this brand-new specimen PET/CT to guide robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection.
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is a minimally invasive, safe procedure preferred in the management of localized prostate cancer. In this study, we present our initial experience with the avatera system (avateramedical GmbH, Jena, Ge...
To compare racial differences and pelvis dimensions between Caucasians and African Americans (AAs) and to develop a risk calculator and scoring system to predict the risk of prolonged operative time and presence of positive surgical margins (PSM) ba...
BACKGROUND: Extraperitoneal and transperitoneal approaches are two common modalities in single-port (SP) robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), but differences in safety and efficacy between the two remain controversial. This study aimed to com...
