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 ...

The best option for patients with end-stage renal disease is kidney transplantation. Increased demand for organs has driven the rise in living donor nephrectomy procedures, in which it is important ...

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

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 ...

USA: Researchers have found that preoperative multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) could help predict the risk of chronic kidney ...

For patients with stage T1a renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the use of thermal ablation has been increasing, while the use of radical nephrectomy has been declining.

Methods for better identifying malignant versus benign disease before nephrectomy could provide significant benefits to patients and payers. Limitations of current diagnotic techniques may allow some ...

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 ...
