Two studies compare certain outcomes of robotic-assisted vs. laparoscopic surgery for kidney removal or rectal cancer. Two studies published by JAMA compare certain outcomes of robotic-assisted vs ...

Urologists have developed a new technique that could make minimally invasive robotic partial nephrectomy procedures the norm, rather than the exception for kidney cancer patients. The technique spares ...

Ischemia–reperfusion injury caused by vascular clamping contributes to the decline in glomerular filtration rate following partial nephrectomy. Ischemia is the main modifiable factor that determines ...

Kidney removal surgery, a nephrectomy, can cause pain. While most discomfort fades in weeks, some patients experience chronic pain. Understanding different pain types like flank, back, and nerve pain ...

PN and RFA offer similar survival for cT1a RCC tumors ≤2 cm, but PN is superior for larger tumors. RFA may be considered for elderly patients with comorbidities, especially for tumors ≤2 cm. PN ...

In patients with clinical stage 1 (cT1) renal masses, many physicians opt for nephron-sparing surgery, such as partial nephrectomy (PN) versus radical nephrectomy (RN). Both procedures have been shown ...

Minimally invasive surgery linked to lower major complication risk, reduced length of stay, decreased transfusion rate.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 15, 2011)––New techniques in science and technology allow the medical community to continually improve patient care and experience, but as these new procedures are introduced, ...

Cardiac transplant status is not significantly associated with adverse in-hospital outcomes in patients with kidney cancer ...

DETROIT – Urologists at Henry Ford Hospital have developed a new technique that could make minimally invasive robotic partial nephrectomy procedures the norm, rather than the exception for kidney ...
