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 ...

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 ...

Patients who undergo single-port robotic prostate or kidney surgery tend to have less blood loss and postoperative pain and shorter hospital stays compared with patients undergoing multi-port robotic ...

University of Iowa Health Care says a recent surgical milestone could expand access to life-saving kidney transplants across the state. Transplant surgeon Ramy El-Diwany, MD, PhD, recently performed ...

As of March 1, the Iowa Donor Network reported 592 Iowans on the waiting list for a new organ; 529 of those needing a new kidney, which amounts to nearly 90% of that list. Most times, kidney removal ...
