Robotic Partial Nephrectomy (RAPN)

For patients with newly diagnosed kidney tumors, robotic partial nephrectomy allows surgical removal of the tumor while preserving the remainder of the kidney. RAPN can be performed through the abdomen or through the back depending on patient factors and tumor location.

Robotic Radical Nephrectomy (RARN)

Larger kidney tumors often necessitates removal of the entire kidney in a procedure known as a radical nephrectomy. Robotic nephrectomy can also be done for nonfunctioning kidneys that are otherwise causing pain or infections.

Robotic Pyeloplasty

Some individuals are born with an obstruction in the top part of the ureter, known as the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). This can result in swelling of the kidney, flank pain, and infections. When diagnosed, the treatment of choice is a pyeloplasty, which involves opening the obstructed ureter and reconstructing it to allow for improved drainage. This surgery can be done through the abdomen or through the back.
