Open partial nephrectomy (OPN) is an established treatment option for selected patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC); a minimally invasive laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) can also be ...

With the widespread use of abdominal imaging, there has been a substantial increase in the detection of incidental, small renal masses. This change has resulted in a downward trend in the size and ...

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 ...

The development of minimally invasive laparoscopic renal tumor surgery and tumor-ablative techniques has been ongoing for 14 years. The advantages of cosmetic incisions, decreased perioperative ...

Open partial nephrectomy had a significantly higher rate of complications. Partial nephrectomy (PN) using an open rather than a robot-assisted procedure predicts a higher rate of overall complications ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Robotic partial nephrectomy appeared associated with predominantly superior outcomes compared with open or ...

A phase II study of S-1 for the treatment of cytokine and/or tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) refractory metastatic renal cell carcinoma: Updated results. Background: Laparoscopic and robotic partial ...

Background: Partial nephrectomy in upper pole kidney tumors represents a distinct surgical challenge. Data on minimally invasive nephron sparing surgery in this context are scarce. We set out to ...

The investigators observed significantly higher postoperative CTC counts in the open radical nephrectomy group compared with the other 3 groups in the study. More circulating tumor cells may enter the ...

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

The management of giant hydronephrosis depends on the presence or absence of sepsis, and on residual renal function in the obstructed kidney and the contra-lateral renal unit. Sepsis warrants urgent ...
