Malignant tumor removed from the kidney of a 4-year-old girl thanks to a robot: surgery in Turin, first time in Italy

by admin

A small life saved thanks to the professionalism of doctors, supported by cutting-edge technologies. For the first time in Italy and one of the first in the world, a robot removed a malignant kidney tumor on a 4-year-old girl without removing the entire kidney, after the 3D reconstruction of the child’s anatomy.

Fever and pains
The little patient had arrived at the emergency room of the Regina Margherita Infantile Hospital before Easter, had a high fever and abdominal pain: an ultrasound and a CT scan reveal a mass of about 4 cm at the upper pole of the right kidney.
