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 ...

Real-world use of artificial intelligence for automated prognostication and systemic therapeutic decision making in localized RCC. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting I.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a retrospective study of patients treated at expert centers, RAPN for localized cT2 renal tumors did not compromise oncologic outcomes and better preserved renal function compared with minimally ...

Robotic and minimally invasive kidney cancer surgery may reduce pain, shorten recovery time and preserve kidney function, according to Dr. Armine Smith. Robotic and minimally invasive surgery for ...

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 ...
