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 ...

Open partial nephrectomy (OPN) is an established treatment option for selected patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC); a minimally invasive laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) can also be ...

Partial nephrectomy has become the standard of care for small renal masses, with minimally-invasive techniques such as laparoscopic, robotic-assisted and laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A phase II study of S-1 for the treatment of cytokine and/or tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) refractory metastatic renal cell carcinoma: Updated results. Background: Laparoscopic and robotic partial ...

Prediction of a potential lethal phenotype in testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumor. Comparing the efficacies of neoadjuvant non-cisplatin-based and cisplatin-based chemotherapies in obtaining ...

Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. This involves making small ‘keyhole’ openings, either in the back or in the abdomen, to remove the section of kidney that contains ...
