In the treatment of small renal masses, robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) has a superior morbidity profile compared with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN), according to an updated meta-analysis ...

The probability of surgical success with telesurgery for radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy for small renal masses was non-inferior to local robotic surgery in a small randomized trial. The ...

For completely endophytic kidney tumors, which grow inward, both open partial nephrectomy (OPN) and robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) led to excellent patient outcomes in a recent study. When ...

An international study examined outcomes between a single-port (SP) versus a multi-port (MP) approach to RAPN, with a focus on elderly patients. Despite similar demographics among patients ≤64 years ...

Routine use of expensive hemostatic agents during RALPN does not seem to be justified. The use of hemostatic agents (HAs) during standard robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) does ...

Minimally invasive techniques enable partial nephrectomies, preserving kidney function in most kidney cancer cases. Multidisciplinary care integrates surgery with targeted therapies and ...

Patients who undergo single-port robotic prostate or kidney surgery tend to have less blood loss and postoperative pain and shorter hospital stays compared with patients undergoing multi-port robotic ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. New research suggests that a surgeon no longer needs to be in the same room as the patient, and that operating on a patient ...

As of March 1, the Iowa Donor Network reported 592 Iowans on the waiting list for a new organ; 529 of those needing a new ...
