Comparing two partial nephrectomy techniques for kidney tumors
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgical methods for removing kidney tumors while saving the rest of the kidney: one uses a robot, the other uses a thin tube with a camera (videolaparoscopy). It aims to see which technique works better for patients with non-spread kidney cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 99 years old.
- You have kidney cancer that has not spread to other parts of your body.
- Your doctor has said you can have surgery to remove just the tumor (partial nephrectomy) using minimally invasive techniques.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have any condition or prior surgery that would make robotic or laparoscopic surgery unsafe.

This study is testing a special technique in robot-assisted kidney surgery where the blood supply to the kidney is not clamped and the tumor is removed without sutures. It may reduce damage to healthy kidney tissue and speed recovery.
This study compares a robot-assisted kidney-sparing surgery guided by 3D images. It aims to improve how precisely surgeons remove a complex kidney tumor while protecting kidney function.
This trial is testing whether robot-assisted surgery can be a safe and effective way to treat early-stage prostate or kidney cancer. If you are eligible, it could give you access to a less invasive surgical option.
This study compares two types of robot-assisted surgery for treating prostate or kidney cancer. It aims to see if a single-port approach (through one small incision) is as safe and effective as the standard multi-port approach (through several small incisions), potentially offering faster recovery and less pain.
This trial compares different surgical methods for removing kidney tumors using a single-port robot. It aims to find the best approach for treating stage 1 kidney cancer.
This study compares two ways of positioning patients during robotic kidney surgery to remove a tumor. The goal is to see which position leads to better outcomes, like less pain or faster recovery.
