Oncologic outcomes after robot-assisted versus open radical cystectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The efficacy of RARC in oncologic outcomes compared ORC is controversial. We assess potential differences in oncologic outcomes between robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and open radical cystectomy (ORC).

The assessment of renal cortex and parenchymal volume using automated CT volumetry for predicting renal function after donor nephrectomy
Contrast-enhanced CT is necessary before donor nephrectomy and is usually combined with a Tc-99m-mercapto-acetyltriglycine (MAG3) scan to check split renal function (SRF). However, all transplant programs do n...
