Partial nephrectomy (PN) is one of the surgical treatment options for renal tumors. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of retroperitoneal PN for anterior and posterior tumors. This study enrolled 177 patients who ...
BACKGROUND: Multiport robotic surgery in the retroperitoneum is limited by the bulky robotic frame and clashing of instruments. Moreover, patients are placed in the lateral decubitus position, which has been linked to complications.

INTRODUCTION: The Cattell-Braasch maneuver has been widely used to provide adequate exposure for aorto-caval space (ACS) since the 1960s. Given its requirement of complex visceral mobilization and significant physiological disturbance, we proposed a ...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and early oncologic outcomes after post-chemotherapy robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RARPLND) for metastatic germ cell tumors (mGCT).
PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility and optimal port placements of robot-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (RANU) via the retroperitoneal approach in the lateral decubitus and supine positions using the da Vinci Xi (DVXi) and da Vinci SP (...
Robotic assisted (RA) retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) has grown in popularity as it offers decreased morbidity and faster recovery compared to the open technique. Proponents of open surgery raised concerns about the oncological fidelity...
For patients with testicular tumors who need the surgical management, open retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (O-RPLND) is considered the gold standard treatment. However, recently, robot-assisted RPLND (R-RPLND) has gained popularity as a minimal...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted pelvic lymph node dissection (rPLND) has been reported in heterogenous groups of patients with melanoma, including macroscopic or at-high-risk-for microscopic metastasis. With changing indications for surgery in melanoma, a...
BACKGROUND/AIM: While post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RPLND) benefits patients with teratoma or viable germ cell tumors (GCT), it becomes overtreatment if necrosis is detected in PC-RPLND specimens. Serum microRNA-371a-3p ...
