Description
Husny Mahmud and co-authors sum up their experience with robot-assisted stone removal in kidneys that sit in the pelvis, in a 2024 study. A pelvic kidney never rose to its normal place before birth, and that odd position makes standard stone surgery hard. The team reviewed all such robot cases at their center from 2014 to 2023.
Four patients, with an average age near 51, had the operation, all on right-sided pelvic kidneys. Stones averaged near 28 millimeters across. Surgery took about four and a half hours on average, blood loss was negligible, and no stents or drains were used. Stays averaged just over two days, with no early complications recorded.
