Comparing spinal morphine and IV lidocaine for robotic kidney surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain during robotic-assisted kidney or ureter surgery: a spinal injection of morphine or an intravenous infusion of lidocaine. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a robotic-assisted surgery on your upper urinary tract (like kidney or ureter surgery).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have conditions that make spinal anesthesia risky, such as a bleeding disorder, severe heart valve problems, or previous back surgery with rods.
- You do not have conditions that make lidocaine risky, such as an allergy to local anesthetics, myasthenia gravis, severe kidney or liver disease, or serious heart rhythm problems.
- You have not participated in this trial before.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after open kidney cancer surgery: an epidural (a thin tube placed near your spine) versus a single spinal injection of opioids. Both aim to control pain, but the study wants to see which method works better, with fewer side effects.
This study compares two pain medicines, lidocaine and morphine, to see which one works better and is safer for treating sudden, severe pain from kidney stones in the emergency room. If you have already received one painkiller but still have pain, this trial may help find a better option for you.
This trial tests whether a single injection of morphine into the fluid around the spine can provide better pain relief after planned laparoscopic or robotic abdominal surgery. If you are having one of several types of major abdominal surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and requires a hospital stay of at least 1 day, this study may be an option.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV during major open abdominal surgery can improve pain control when combined with spinal morphine. It compares lidocaine to a placebo (a saltwater solution) to see if it reduces pain and improves recovery.
This study tests different combinations of pain medications during robotic surgery to remove all or part of a kidney due to cancer. The goal is to find the best way to control pain while keeping you comfortable and allowing you to go home the same day or next day.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic colon surgery: one uses a morphine injection near the spinal cord, the other uses an epidural catheter for ongoing pain relief. The goal is to find which approach works better with fewer side effects.
