First multicenter, randomized controlled trial directly comparing a new technology to robotic RP for men with localized prostate cancer to ...

The median fraction of the gland reaching ablative temperatures on intra-procedural MRI thermometry was 78% (IQR 71-85), with 68% of cases comprising whole gland ablation and 32% sub-total ablation: ...

June 2, 2011 (Washington DC) — A policy of routinely denying robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) to prostate cancer patients if they have a history of glaucoma or ocular hypertension may be ...

3D augmented reality-assisted imaging during RARP enabled precise identification and removal of tumor lesions at the level of preserved neurovascular bundles, which may reduce positive surgical ...

The decision to undergo radical prostatectomy, or any treatment for prostate cancer, is of course not an easy one. Patients are usually offered a tremendous amount of information from their doctors, ...

In my last blog post, I discussed why I believe surgical removal of the prostate is the best option for most men with prostate cancer. For those patients who agree, the next question is which way ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - One in 15 people undergoing robot-assisted prostate, kidney or bladder surgery develops a nerve injury related to pressure from positioning on the operating table, a new ...

As a result, researchers have explored less invasive options that aim to treat the cancer while preserving quality of life. One such approach is TULSA, which uses real-time MRI guidance to deliver ...

The arrival of robotics in surgery has been a roller coaster ride, offering another lesson in how technology in healthcare, unlike most industries, faces challenges to show it’s better than the status ...

Although minimally invasive prostate removal aided by a robot can lead to less blood loss, shorter hospital stays and fewer complications, there is no evidence that the procedure improves cure rates, ...

If every urologist could perform advanced laparoscopic surgery, robotic assistance would not exist, unless it was proven to benefit the patient. To date, this proof is lacking. The oncological and ...
