Current evidence on laparoscopic partial nephrectomy suggests that it is safe and efficacious when undertaken by surgeons with special expertise in this technique. Surgeons undertaking laparoscopic ...

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 ...

SAN DIEGO -- Use of neoadjuvant axitinib (Inlyta) resulted in significant reductions in tumor size and complexity, enabling partial nephrectomy in a cohort of patients with highly complex renal masses ...

Influence of risk factors for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) on outcome of patients (pts) with metastatic disease (mRCC) treated with sunitinib (Su). This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2012 ASCO ...

Association of chronic co-morbidities with long term survival with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2015 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. This abstract ...

January 10, 2008 — Most patients found to have a small kidney tumor, between 2 and 4 cm in size, have the whole kidney removed. However, new findings suggest that for younger patients a partial ...

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 ...

A 60-year-old woman without any other medical problems underwent a right robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for a 2.5 cm mid-right renal posterior cortical heterogeneously enhancing ...

Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. This involves making small ‘keyhole’ openings, either in the back or in the abdomen, to remove the section of kidney that contains ...
