Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-May-2016
Advances in minimally invasive surgery for live kidney donors have led to the development of laparoendoscopic single site donor nephrectomy (LESS-DN). At present, laparoscopic donor nephrectomy is the technique of choice for donor nephrectomy globally. Co
- Laparoscopic and robotic‐assisted versus open radical prostatectomy for the treatment of localised prostate cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Sep-2017
Prostate cancer is commonly diagnosed in men worldwide. Surgery, in the form of radical prostatectomy, is one of the main forms of treatment for men with localised prostate cancer. Prostatectomy has traditionally been performed as open surgery, typically
