    No full text
    Warm ischemia time during partial nephrectomy is an important risk factor for renal failure after surgery. A new study proposes using anatomic vascular microdissection of renal artery branches to perform zero-ischemia partial nephrectomy. Although the results are promising, the technique is challenging and requires further evaluation

    Partial resection of the kidney for renal cancer

    No full text
    The widespread use of abdominal imaging led to an increased early detection of small renal masses in asymptomatic patients. Minimally invasive surgery as laparoscopy and robot-assisted surgery are widely used techniques for kidney surgery particularly for small renal masses. In this chapter robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is meticulously described and perioperative, functional and oncologic outcomes are widely discussed
