Increased detection of the small renal mass over the last two decades has led to greater utilization of partial nephrectomy techniques. Appreciation of the negative impact of chronic renal impairment ...

LOS ANGELES - 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 ...

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 ...

Background: A standard of care for the treatment of small renal masses is partial nephrectomy. The open and laparoscopic approaches have been well described in the literature. Robotic assistance may ...

A total of 35 patients were identified. Clinical, pathological, and perioperative results are documented in Table 1. Patients had a mean age of 62 and a mean tumor size of 2.8cm on preoperative ...

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 ...

Partial nephrectomy in the setting of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Outcomes for a multi-institutional cohort of patients treated with intra-operative radiation therapy for advanced or recurrent ...

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 ...

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 ...

7-partial-nephrectomy-0516 Robotic partial nephrectomy offers similar oncologic outcomes to robotic radical nephrectomy, but is associated with better preservation of renal function. Robotic minimally ...
