CONTEXT: Radical nephrectomy (RN) is the gold standard treatment for large and locally advanced renal tumors. Although robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RRN) is being increasingly adopted, it remains unclear whether it offers benefits over standard...
BACKGROUND: Despite hospital length of stay (LOS) being shorter for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) compared to its open counterpart, several series in the literature report on average a LOS of 2-3 days or more. We aimed to assess factors p...
BACKGROUND: The role of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in the management of renal masses has exponentially grown over the past 10 years. Nevertheless, data on long term outcomes of the procedure remains limited. Herein we report oncologica...
BACKGROUND: The aim of this paper was to assess the feasibility of robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RN) with inferior vena cava thrombectomy (RRVCT) and compare perioperative and oncological outcomes of this approach to open surgery for renal tumo...
To systematically explore the superiority of the transperitoneal approach in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (TP-RAPN) and retroperitoneal approach in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RP-RAPN). Several databases were searched including PubMed...
Image-guided surgery (IGS) allows for accurate, real-time localization of subsurface critical structures during surgery. No prior IGS systems have described a feasible method of intraoperative reregistration after manipulation of the kidney during r...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the quality of recovery in patients who underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and to compare the outcomes of the transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach.
