Background To date, reports on outcomes after robotic-assisted pulmonary resection have
been confined to small, single-institution case series. Furthermore, no comparison has been …

Results We found 58 articles reporting on relevant renal functional outcomes. Meta-analyses
showed that final eGFR fell 10.5 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 lower for radical nephrectomy …

Purpose: This AUA Guideline focuses on evaluation/counseling and management of adult
patients with clinically localized renal masses suspicious for cancer, including solid …

Importance Use of robotic surgery has increased in urological practice over the last decade.
However, the use, outcomes, and costs of robotic nephrectomy are unknown. Objectives To …

Background The rising incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) since the 1980s has been
accompanied by stage migration toward early-stage (stage I) cancers. Stage migration drove …

Background Only a few studies have compared the outcomes of robotic partial nephrectomy
(RPN) and open partial nephrectomy (OPN). This study aimed to compare perioperative and …

Purpose: We determined practice patterns and perioperative outcomes of open and
minimally invasive partial nephrectomy in the United States since the introduction of a robot …

Objectives To compare outcomes at a 5‐year median follow‐up among different partial
nephrectomy (PN) approaches: robot‐assisted (RAPN), laparoscopic (LPN) and open partial …

Background Robotic and computer navigation technology is available to surgeons for use in
hip and knee arthroplasties to increase the precision of component placement. However …

Purpose: Open partial nephrectomy has proven long-term oncologic efficacy. Laparoscopic
partial nephrectomy outcomes at 5 to 7 years of followup appear comparable to those of the …
