OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the learning curve of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) between two surgeons at a single institution.
BACKGROUND: Simple enucleation (SE) has proven to be oncologically safe. We describe the surgical steps and report the results of the Endoscopic Robotic-Assisted Simple Enucleation (ERASE) technique.
INTRODUCTION: Intrarenal tumors pose a unique challenge to surgeons due to the lack of visual cues on the kidney surface. Intraoperative ultrasonography has facilitated the management of these tumors during minimally invasive partial nephrectomy. We ...

Nephrectomy, the surgical removal of a kidney, is a critical treatment for renal cancer, and predicting its likelihood can help guide clinical decision-making and optimize preoperative planning. This study utilized real-world electronic health record...
This study presents a machine learning model to predict renal function decline following minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy. Using a dataset of 556 patients treated between 2015 and 2023, the model incorporated patient, tumor, and intraoperative ...
We consider the problem of renal mass risk classification to support doctors in adjuvant treatment decisions following nephrectomy. Recommendation of adjuvant therapy based on the mass appearance poses two major challenges: first, morphologic pattern...
PURPOSE: To create a computer-aided prediction (CAP) system to predict Wilms tumor (WT) responsiveness to preoperative chemotherapy (PC) using pre-therapy contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT).

Partial nephrectomy, the gold standard treatment for renal tumors, is performed with clamping of the renal arteries, in order to interrupt the blood flowing towards the tumor. However, the temporary interruption of arterial flow may lead to ischemia ...
