The probability of surgical success with telesurgery for radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy for small renal masses was non-inferior to local robotic surgery in a small randomized trial. The ...

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 ...

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, ...

For the first time in Michigan, a diseased kidney has been surgically removed at Henry Ford Hospital using highly sophisticated 3D robotics through a single incision. "We made several improvements in ...

For completely endophytic kidney tumors, which grow inward, both open partial nephrectomy (OPN) and robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) led to excellent patient outcomes in a recent study. When ...

After enduring seven prior abdominal surgeries, 64-year-old Joy Monetti from Islip was no stranger to painful procedures and lengthy recoveries. However, it was her recent single-port (SP) robotic ...
