摘要
Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy (RAPN) is a
medical procedure in which part of a kidney is removed,
typically because of the presence of a tumour. RAPN is
the second most diffused robotically assisted surgical
procedure worldwide after prostatectomy [1]. The
advantages of this robot-assisted procedure are detailed
in [2], and in [3] it is argued that RAPN can be used in
place of open surgery or total nephrectomy in some
complex renal tumour cases. The RAPN procedure is
thoroughly described in [4]. Methods used for the
identification of the tumour include pre-operative
Computer Tomography (CT) scans, Magnetic Resonance
(MR) imaging and intraoperative Ultrasound (US) scans.
The use of drop-in US probes for RAPN procedures is
widely recognized as the golden standard for the intraoperative
detection and margins outlining of the mass
targeted. In [5] the authors show that the use of US dropin
probes guided by robotic laparoscopic tools rather than
standard laparoscopic tool is beneficial for the surgeon as
it significantly increases the dexterity, hence, the field of
view of the system.
