INTRODUCTION: Robotic-assisted surgery has been a part of surgical procedures for more than two decades. Recently new robotic platforms with a different design entered the market. The modular design with independent arms enables increased flexibility...
INTRODUCTION: Despite considerable interest in robotic surgery, successful incorporation of robotics into transplant programs has been challenging. Lack of a dedicated OR team with expertise in both robotics and transplant is felt to be a major barri...
RAPN can be carried out via a transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach. The choice between the two approaches is open to debate and usually based on surgeon preference. The perioperative outcomes of transperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrecto...
To evaluate the outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for solid and cystic renal tumors. We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus databases up to March 2023. Review Manager 5.4 performed a pooled ana...
