INTRODUCTION: This study was performed to investigate the preoperative factors associated with difficulty achieving trifecta in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for clinical T1b renal cell carcinoma.
Innovation of robotic surgery is still actively growing, and various novel robotic systems are in the process of development. The objective of this study was to assess the perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) using the...
This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) compared with open partial nephrectomy (OPN) in the management of complex renal tumors (defined as RENAL score ≥ 7). We conducted a comprehensive literatur...
PURPOSE: Hugo™ RAS system is one of the most promising new robotic platforms introduced in the field of urology. To date, no data have been provided on robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) performed with Hugo™ RAS system. The aim of the study is...
BACKGROUND: Patients with multiple ipsilateral renal masses have an augmented risk of metachronous contralateral lesions and are likely to undergo repeated surgeries. We report our experience with the technologies currently available and the surgical...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of perinephric fat volume (PNFV) and the Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score with time to clamping (TTC) in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). The study subjects consisted of 73 tumors in...
RAPN training usually takes place in-vivo and methods vary across countries/institutions. No common system exists to objectively assess trainee capacity to perform RAPN at predetermined performance levels prior to in-vivo practice. The identification...
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...
