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 ...

New study finds comparable rates of complications and overall, cancer-specific, and metastasis-free survival rates. New study findings support the use of partial nephrectomy (PN) for treating selected ...

“The findings of this study provide valuable information for surgical decision-making in patients with localized RCC.” “While both RN and PN demonstrated equivalent and effective cancer control, ...

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 ...

Current evidence on laparoscopic partial nephrectomy suggests that it is safe and efficacious when undertaken by surgeons with special expertise in this technique. Surgeons undertaking laparoscopic ...

Nephron-sparing surgery may not reduce the risk for later kidney failure in patients with kidney cancer and stage 4 CKD. Despite the promise of nephron-sparing, new study findings suggest that the ...
