Background And Objective: Evidence regarding perioperative results and long-term functional outcomes of robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) is limited. We evaluated perioperative surgical results and long-term functional outcomes of RAKT in patients receiving kidney transplants from living donors.
Methods: This retrospective analysis is based on a prospective multicenter cohort study conducted from July 2015 to October 2023 across ten European centers.
Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study was to update recommendations for managing kidney cancer based on recent literature from 2014 to 2024, focusing on diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up methods.
- Key findings highlighted that kidney cancer linked to trichloroethylene exposure should be considered an occupational disease, and that contrast-enhanced CT scans are essential for diagnosis, while PET scans are not necessary.
- The updated guidelines recommend specific classifications for tumors, advocate for less invasive strategies like biopsies to avoid unnecessary surgeries, and suggest various surgical and treatment options tailored to tumor size, patient age, and overall health.
Background: In 2021, the EAU Guidelines implemented a novel, expert opinion-based follow-up scheme, with a three-risk-category system for clear cell (cc) and non-cc renal cell carcinoma (non-ccRCC) after surgery with curative intent. We aimed to validate the novel follow-up scheme and provide data-driven recurrence estimates according to risk groups, to confirm or implement the oncologic surveillance strategy.
Methods: We identified 5,320 patients from a prospectively maintained database involving 28 French referral centers.
Background And Objective: A hilar location for a renal tumour is sometimes viewed as a limiting factor for safe partial nephrectomy. Our aim was to evaluate perioperative, oncological, and functional outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for hilar tumours (RAPN-H) in comparison to RAPN for nonhilar tumours (RAPN-NH).
Methods: We conducted an observational, multicentre cohort study using prospectively collected data from the French Research Network on Kidney Cancer (UroCCR).
Background And Objective: Orthotopic kidney transplantation (KT) has been proposed as an option for patients ineligible for heterotopic KT. In this scenario, orthotopic robot-assisted KT (oRAKT) represents a novel, minimally invasive alternative to the open approach. Here we describe the largest oRAKT series of patients, with a focus on the surgical technique, perioperative surgical outcomes, and functional results.
