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 ...

New research suggests that a surgeon no longer needs to be in the same room as the patient, and that operating on a patient remotely using a surgical robot through a secure video-link is also viable.

Findings provide an evidence base for larger-scale trials, say researchersTelesurgery (operating on a patient remotely using ...

The arrival of robotics in surgery has been a roller coaster ride, offering another lesson in how technology in healthcare, unlike most industries, faces challenges to show it’s better than the status ...

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 ...
