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...
OBJECTIVE: To describe the most recent surgical, functional, and oncological outcomes of RPN utilizing one of the largest, prospectively maintained, multi-institution consortium of patients undergoing robotic renal surgery.
Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has traditionally been performed as an inpatient procedure; however, recent studies have suggested the feasibility of same-day discharge (SDD) after RAPN. We aimed to evaluate the safety and cost-effectivene...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: There are very few data on patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for bilateral renal masses. The aim of this review is to update the literature and discuss the controversial points on this topic.
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 ...
