Perirenal perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that can cause spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Duodenal perforation after nephrectomy is rare but ...

Robotic assistance has been rapidly adopted by urologists for a wide range of surgical procedures involving the retroperitoneal space The rapid dissemination of robot-assisted techniques is ...

Robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) has increasingly been applied to the treatment of small renal masses. Because of space limitations and the size of the robot at the patient side, the standard ...

Robotic Partial Nephrectomy can be performed via transperitoneal or retroperitoneal access. The retroperitoneal approach offers direct access to the renal artery and reduces the risk of intestinal ...

The objective of this study was to compare perioperative and early oncological outcomes of a matched cohort of patients who underwent retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RP-RAPN) and ...

The prognostic value of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored 80 kD protein (GPI-80) positive myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in peripheral blood of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) ...

Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation therapy as a first choice for renal tumor in patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease. Background: Gasless single port retroperitoneal radical nephrectomy is ...

To evaluate retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) against transperitoneal approach in a multi-institutional prospective database, after accounting for potential selection bias that ...

Lateral positioning remains standard for retroperitoneal robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (rRAPN). Emerging single-port systems have expanded supine positioning applications in rRAPN. This study ...

Background: A 32-year-old primiparous woman presented with a painful left-sided giant hydronephrotic kidney secondary to pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO). Investigations: Renal ...

Purpose: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) represents an uncommon and challenging clinical scenario (1). XGP in a horseshoe kidney poses additional surgical complexity due to the anatomical ...
