Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ralph Clayman"
- Ralph Clayman's recent research predominantly focuses on improving surgical techniques and patient outcomes in urology, particularly in the management of kidney stones through innovative technologies such as immersive virtual reality (iVR) and robotically assisted platforms.
- His studies include the evaluation of preoperative iVR for enhanced surgical planning in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and he has established the natural distensibility of the human ureter, which could inform clinical practices.
- Additionally, Clayman is investigating the role of cost-effective tools like force sensors in ureteroscopy and assessing the implications of routine renal mass biopsies to reduce unnecessary nephrectomies for benign tumors.
