In the treatment of small renal masses, robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) has a superior morbidity profile compared with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN), according to an updated meta-analysis ...

For the first time ever, humanoid robots operated by surgeons have successfully performed laparoscopic gallbladder removal in ...

Anthony Camnetar remembers the first time he was told that he had von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. He was 12 years old and his mother, who had just picked him up from school, broke ...

A laparoscopic nephrectomy involves the removal of one kidney through a series of small incisions with a special tool called a laparoscope. It’s an option to treat kidney cancer and other conditions ...

Real-world use of artificial intelligence for automated prognostication and systemic therapeutic decision making in localized RCC. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting I.

Routine use of expensive hemostatic agents during RALPN does not seem to be justified. The use of hemostatic agents (HAs) during standard robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) does ...

Rates of bile duct injury a year after gallbladder removal surgery were lower with laparoscopic procedures than robotic-assisted ones, a retrospective study of Medicare beneficiaries found.

UC San Diego researchers used teleoperated humanoid robots to complete two gallbladder-removal surgeries in pigs, including one procedure involving a human assistant and another briefly using two ...

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 ...
