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 ...

Telesurgery is noninferior to local robotic urologic surgery, according to results of a randomized trial reported in the BMJ.

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 ...

The widespread use of standard laparoscopic procedures has been constrained by the technical difficulties presented by patients with PKD who have massively enlarged and cystic kidneys.
