PURPOSE: There is currently no consensus regarding the optimal treatment strategy for patients presenting with synchronous bilateral renal masses. The decision to perform bilateral procedures on the same intervention or in staged procedures is debate...
BACKGROUND: To evaluate long-term oncological and renal function outcomes in patients treated with robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
PURPOSE: We sought to automate R.E.N.A.L. (for radius, exophytic/endophytic, nearness of tumor to collecting system, anterior/posterior, location relative to polar line) nephrometry scoring of preoperative computerized tomography scans and create an ...
To develop a structured and objective scoring tool for assessment of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN): Scoring for Partial Nephrectomy (SPaN). : RAPN was deconstructed into 6 domains by a multi-institutional panel of 10 expert robotic surge...

The surgical treatment of horseshoe kidney (HSK) remains a huge challenge because of the complex anatomy and abnormal blood vessel distribution. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the surgical technique and outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscop...
OBJECTIVES: To assess the safety and efficacy of introducing robotic-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (RALDN) to the standard retroperitoneal endoscopic donor nephrectomy (REDN).
BACKGROUND: Recently, several case reports and limited randomized studies have shown that quadratus lumborum blocks (QLB) are effective in providing pain relief after intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal operations. Additionally, robot-assisted partia...
BACKGROUND: International guidelines suggest the use of anatomic scores to predict surgical outcomes after partial nephrectomy (PN). We aimed at validating the use of Simplified PADUA Renal (SPARE) nephrometry score in robot-assisted PN (RAPN).
Worldwide, we have witnessed an expansion of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) and thanks to the global adoption of high-resolution diagnostic imaging technologies, an increased incidence of newly diagnosed prostatic, renal and bladder cance...
