Overall, the current literature provides a low level of evidence for RRN in the treatment of RCC. The majority of the studies are small retrospective case-series with limited follow-up; only one ...

Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) led to a lower rate of complications compared with open partial nephrectomy (OPN) in patients with intermediate- or high-complexity kidney tumors, the ...

For patients with early kidney cancer, removing part of the kidney instead of the whole kidney is often a preferred treatment because the procedure can effectively remove tumors while preserving ...

Two studies compare certain outcomes of robotic-assisted vs. laparoscopic surgery for kidney removal or rectal cancer. Two studies published by JAMA compare certain outcomes of robotic-assisted vs ...

Kidney cancer is among the most lethal of urologic malignancies. The rising incidence of kidney cancer is attributable to greater detection of incidental small renal masses (≤4 cm) from increased use ...

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 ...

Robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) has increasingly been applied to the treatment of small renal masses. Because of space limitations and the size of the robot at the patient side, the standard ...

Renal cell carcinoma can sometimes spread to the inferior vena cava (IVC), the body's largest vein, posing a threat to the heart and brain. Robotic nephrectomy for inferior vena cava tumor thrombus ...

We performed a MedLine search for peer-reviewed studies, published from January 2000- December 2013, on the RRN for RCC. The keywords used were "robotic radical nephrectomy", "robot-assisted ...
