advanced renal tumors. Although robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RRN) is being …

Minimally invasive renal surgery has revolutionized the surgical management of renal
cancer since the initial report of laparoscopic nephrectomy in 1991. Laparoscopic …

Objective To compare the outcomes of robotic radical nephrectomy (RRN) to those of
laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) for large renal masses. Methods This was a …

first series of patients undergoing robot‐assisted radical nephrectomy (RARN) with a newly …

Background: The use of robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RARN) for renal cell carcinoma
(RCC) has increased in recent years, but the advantages of RARN over laparoscopic radical …

Background The purpose of this study was to analyze all relevant comparative studies
comparing robot‐assisted minimally invasive thymectomy (RATS) and video‐assisted …
