Minimally Invasive Partial Nephrectomy Does Not Worsen Cancer Outcomes
A minimally invasive approach does not increase risk for atypical sites of kidney cancer recurrence, a recent study suggests.
Robotic Surgery
Same-Day Robot-Assisted Prostate Cancer Surgery Safe, Feasible
Patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and were discharged the same day had complication and 90-day readmission rates similar to those who had the procedure as inpatients.
Robotic-Assisted Radical Cystectomy Safe, Feasible for Octogenarians
The benefits of robotic surgery may have a more pronounced effect in octogenarians, according to investigators.
Positive Margins After Partial Nephrectomy Predict Worse Oncologic Outcomes
Decisions of how to proceed when positive surgical margins are found after partial nephrectomy are left to the discretion of the surgeon.
Survival Odds Similar After Open, Robotic-Assisted Radical Cystectomy
Researchers in The Netherlands compared the surgical approaches in patients with muscle-invasive or high-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Robotic Platforms Not Superior for Abdominopelvic Surgery
Robot-assisted surgery had longer operative duration than laparoscopy, but no obvious difference compared to open surgery
Doubling of Radical Surgery Rates for High-Risk Prostate Cancer Reported
By 2016, radical prostatectomy use nearly equaled radiation therapy use for high-risk prostate cancer.
Priorities in Prostate Cancer Care During the Pandemic
The authors of a new review discuss priorities, adjustments, and tailored approaches to prostate cancer management during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Salvage RARP Feasible, Effective
According to researchers, 57.3% of men who underwent salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy were pad-free at 12 months.
Robotic PN May Offer Better Outcomes Than RFA for T1a RCC
Two-year recurrence-free survival was 100% vs 95.2% among robotic surgery and radiofrequency ablation patients, respectively.
