BACKGROUND: Renal tumour can invade the venous system and ~4-10% patients with renal tumour had venous thrombus. Although the feasibility of robot-assisted laparoscopic inferior vena cava thrombectomy (RAL-IVCT) in patients with inferior vena cava (I...
There is emerging but limited data assessing single-port (SP) robot-assisted surgery as an alternative to multi-port (MP) platforms. We compared perioperative outcomes between SP and MP robot-assisted approaches for excision of high and low complexit...
BACKGROUND: Tumors with a high nephrometry score represent a challenging surgical scenario for which robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) is a primary option in expert hands.
To compare perioperative outcomes following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in patients with morbid obesity (body mass index (BMI > 40 kg/m)) and non-obese patients. Using the Vattikuti Collective quality initiative (VCQI) database for RAPN...
We aimed to evaluate the renoprotective effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN). Data from 59 patients with solitary renal tumors who underwent RAPN with RIPC com...
BACKGROUND: Collecting system entry in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy may occur even in cases showing a low N factor in the R.E.N.A.L nephrometry score. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the tumor contact surface area with the adjacent rena...
Although retroperitoneal surgery has demonstrated a better quality of recovery compared to transperitoneal routes, Retroperitoneal Robot Assisted Partial Nephrectomy (RRAPN) remains proportionally infrequent. As the boundaries of what is achievable r...
BACKGROUND: An empirical selective clamping strategy based on the direction of the arterial branches can lead to failures during partial nephrectomy, even when assisted by three-dimensional virtual models (3DVMs).
