The prognostic value of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored 80 kD protein (GPI-80) positive myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in peripheral blood of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Robotic nephrectomy is a feasible, safe and oncologically effective surgical treatment for clinically localized RCC. However, current literature does not provide any advantage for RRN if compared to ...

Comparison of retroperitoneal and transperitoneal robotic partial nephrectomy by pentafecta perioperative and renal functional outcomes. Postoperative long-term prognosis of localized renal cell ...

Renal cell carcinoma can sometimes spread to the inferior vena cava (IVC), the body's largest vein, posing a threat to the heart and brain. Robotic nephrectomy for inferior vena cava tumor thrombus ...

The recently developed single-port, multichannel access approach to urologic surgery may allow many common laparoscopic and robotic procedures to be performed entirely through the patient’s umbilicus, ...
