Can a 3D model of your kidney reduce anxiety before surgery?
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether showing you a personalized 3D model of your kidney before surgery helps lower anxiety. You'll be scheduled for a partial nephrectomy (removing just the tumor, not the whole kidney) for a kidney tumor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (robot-assisted) for a kidney tumor
- You have a tumor in only one kidney (or it's your first surgery for tumors in both kidneys)
- You can understand and express yourself in French
- You have a CT scan available that can be used to make a 3D model

This trial is testing if a 3D printed model of your kidney helps surgeons better plan and perform robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (removing only part of the kidney) for kidney tumors.
This study tests whether a life-size 3D model of your brain aneurysm can help reduce anxiety before a procedure called embolization (a treatment to block blood flow to the aneurysm). If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to get either the 3D model or standard information before the procedure.
This trial uses MRI scans to create 3D printed models of kidneys with tumors. It aims to help surgeons plan operations. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for kidney tumor removal.
This trial uses advanced 3D imaging to help surgeons perform robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (removing only the tumor, not the whole kidney) for people with a single, complex kidney tumor. The goal is to make the surgery safer and more precise.
This trial tests if a 3D kidney model made with artificial intelligence helps surgeons remove a kidney tumor (partial nephrectomy) more precisely. It may help preserve healthy kidney tissue while treating the cancer.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality before kidney cancer surgery helps doctors plan the operation. It's for people with suspected kidney cancer who are scheduled for surgery to remove all or part of a kidney.
