Abstract
The widespread use of abdominal imaging led to an increased early detection of small renal masses in asymptomatic patients. Minimally invasive surgery as laparoscopy and robot-assisted surgery are widely used techniques for kidney surgery particularly for small renal masses. In this chapter robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is meticulously described and perioperative, functional and oncologic outcomes are widely discussed.File in questo prodotto:
