Novel Use of the Gelport to Expedite Transition to Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy

Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy is associated with a learning curve, necessitating proficiency in robotic renal dissection, hilar control, and subsequent mass excision and renorrhaphy. The Gelport can be used during these procedures to expedite initial control of the renal pedicle and to add to t...
