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 ...

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. Ketan K. Badani, MD Ketan K. Badani, MD Robotic surgery has been ...

The recently developed single-port, multichannel access approach to urologic surgery may allow many common laparoscopic and robotic procedures to be performed entirely through the patient’s umbilicus, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Use of the surgical robot has seen exponential growth in spite of uncertain or limited benefits Value in health care is defined as health outcome per dollar spent. 12 In order for a technology to add ...
