To compare the perioperative, functional, and oncologic outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) for completely endophytic renal tumors (three points for the "E" element of the R.E.N.A.L. scori...
BACKGROUND: Minimal access surgery (MAS) is well-established in urological surgery. However, MAS is technically demanding and associated with a prolonged learning curve. Robot-assisted laparoscopy has made progress in overcoming these challenges.
Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is increasingly applied to renal hilar tumors. The present study aims to introduce our vessel and tension-free reconstruction technique and discuss the perioperative, functional, and midterm oncologic outcom...
To determine the effect of positive surgical margins (PSMs) on oncologic outcomes following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and to identify factors that increase the likelihood of adverse oncologic outcomes. A multi-institutional database...
The aim of this study was to introduce the "ultrathin parenchyma" resection in a robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) via the retroperitoneal approach, and to assess the feasibility, security, and effectiveness of this technique. We collected ...
OBJECTIVES: Surgically treated clinical T1 (cT1) kidney cancer has in general a good prognosis, but there is a risk of upstaging that can potentially jeopardize the oncological outcomes after partial nephrectomy (PN). Aim of this study is to analyze ...
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is emerging as an effective treatment oncologically and functionally for clinically localized renal tumors. However, RAPN in high-complexity tumors with a Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Use...
