OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical safety and efficacy of a modified early unclamping technique in robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN).
BACKGROUND: Prediction of complications and surgical outcomes is of outmost importance even in patients with benign renal masses. The aim of our study is to test the PADUA, SPARE and R.E.N.A.L. scores to predict nephron sparing surgery (NSS) outcomes...
OBJECTIVE: The experience of performing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is associated with better surgical outcomes. However, surgeon's generation may impact surgical outcomes. We evaluated the perioperative outcomes of RAPN between first- ...
The study's aim was to externally validate a new predictive model for the new baseline glomerular filtration rate (NB-GFR) postnephrectomy among Japanese patients. Patients with renal tumors who underwent radical nephrectomy (RN) or robot-assisted ...

BACKGROUND: One of the most prevalent complications of Partial Nephrectomy (PN) is Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), which could have a negative impact on subsequent renal function and occurs in up to 24.3% of patients undergoing PN. The aim of this study w...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and clinical impact of preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CT)-guided selective embolization of endophytic renal tumors with the fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) and ethiodized oil in patients...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility and safety of same-day discharge (SDD) surgery after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in patients with small renal tumors.
BACKGROUND: During robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), renal artery clamping is necessary to optimize the surgical field. However, renal artery clamping can induce renal blood flow reduction and postoperative renal dysfunction. Papaverine is u...
Background and objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the association between warm ischemic time (WIT) and postoperative renal function using Trifecta achievement in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who underwent robotic (RAPN) or laparosco...
