Background: A standard of care for the treatment of small renal masses is partial nephrectomy. The open and laparoscopic approaches have been well described in the literature. Robotic assistance may ...

For patients with early kidney cancer, removing part of the kidney instead of the whole kidney is often a preferred treatment because the procedure can effectively remove tumors while preserving ...

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 ...

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) ...

Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy is an emerging technique that potentially provides advantages over conventional laparoscopic approaches. A retrospective multi-institutional study suggests that ...

In an interview with CURE, Badani, a professor of Urology at Mount Sinai Hospital, discusses the benefits of robotic surgery in RCC. Robotic surgery has been moving into the treatment realm for ...

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 ...

Pleotrophic action of renal cell carcinoma: Dysregulated microRNAs on hypoxia-related signaling pathways. Background: Partial nephrectomy in upper pole kidney tumors represents a distinct surgical ...

Indications for nephrectomy (including nephroureterectomy) include benign and malignant tumours; conditions that damage renal function such as chronic infection; and donation for transplantation. For ...

Anthony Camnetar remembers the first time he was told that he had von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. He was 12 years old and his mother, who had just picked him up from school, broke ...

Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy has been performed for >10years, but still has not gained wide popularity outside of major centers of excellence. The relative rarity of kidney cancer, combined with ...
