Robot-Assisted Nephrectomy

Definition

Robot-assisted nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves the use of a robotic system to assist in the removal of a kidney or a part of it. This technique is commonly employed to treat kidney cancer, benign kidney tumors, or other kidney-related conditions. The robotic system provides the surgeon with enhanced precision, flexibility, and control during the operation.
