Robotic Partial Nephrectomy May Be a Viable Option for Large Renal Tumors
Robotic partial nephrectomy offers similar oncologic outcomes to robotic radical nephrectomy, but is associated with better preservation of renal function.
TRT Speeds Potency Recovery After Prostate Surgery
In a study, all men who received testosterone replacement therapy within 1 year of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy had full potency recovery at 24 months.
TRT Reduces Post-RARP Recurrence Risk in Low-Risk Prostate Cancer
Testosterone replacement therapy prolonged time to disease progression among men who underwent radical surgery for localized prostate cancer.
