For smaller kidney tumors, doctors may recommend a partial nephrectomy. This surgery involves removing only part of your kidney. A robotic approach may reduce your recovery time and risk of ...

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 ...

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Hartford HealthCare is celebrating a major medical breakthrough with its first robotic nephrectomy and kidney transplant. The procedure marks a new era in transplant surgery, ...

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 ...

Conventional absolute indications for PN include bilateral tumors, renal insufficiency, or a solitary functional kidney. 11 Indications for NSS have evolved to encompass the majority of tumors <4 cm ...

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 ...

During robotic surgery, a surgeon uses the arms of a robot to help guide and operate surgical tools. Benefits include increased precision, a lower risk of side effects, and a shorter recovery time.
