Robotic and minimally invasive kidney cancer surgery may reduce pain, shorten recovery time and preserve kidney function, according to Dr. Armine Smith. Robotic and minimally invasive surgery for ...

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 ...

During robotic surgery, a surgeon uses the arms of a robot to help guide and operate surgical tools. Benefits include increased precision, a lower risk of side effects, and a shorter recovery time.

An international study examined outcomes between a single-port (SP) versus a multi-port (MP) approach to RAPN, with a focus on elderly patients. Despite similar demographics among patients ≤64 years ...

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, ...

The HUGO robotic-assisted surgery system showed a high surgical success rate and favorable rates of grade 3 complications. The Hugo™ robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system is safe and effective, ...
