In a partial nephrectomy, a portion of your kidney is surgically removed, sparing some function in that kidney. This surgery is most often performed in instances of a small tumor localized to the ...

Increased detection of the small renal mass over the last two decades has led to greater utilization of partial nephrectomy techniques. Appreciation of the negative impact of chronic renal impairment ...

Absolute indications include circumstances in which RN would render the patient anephric, with a consequent immediate need for renal replacement therapy. Patients with an anatomically or functionally ...

Partial nephrectomy has been the procedure of choice for patients with poor renal function, tumors in solitary kidneys or bilateral renal tumors. The efficacy of partial nephrectomy in regard to ...

December 11, 2014 - Hospitals with robotic surgical systems are more likely to perform "nephron-sparing" partial nephrectomy--a recommended alternative to removal of the entire kidney--in patients ...

Patients with bilateral multifocal renal cell carcinoma are at increased risk of developing locally recurrent or de novo tumors after nephron-sparing procedures. When dealing with recurrent renal ...

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 ...

In patients with clinical stage 1 (cT1) renal masses, many physicians opt for nephron-sparing surgery, such as partial nephrectomy (PN) versus radical nephrectomy (RN). Both procedures have been shown ...

The probability of surgical success with telesurgery for radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy for small renal masses was non-inferior to local robotic surgery in a small randomized trial. The ...

Total removal of a kidney during cancer treatment increases the risk of developing erectile dysfunction nearly four-fold compared with patients who have only a partial removal, researchers reported ...

Telesurgery was as reliable as standard robotic surgery for two common urological procedures, according to a small Chinese randomized trial. Use of telesurgery -- operating on a patient remotely using ...
