3D printing kidney models for surgery planning
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new digital tool that helps surgeons plan the best way to clamp the blood supply to your kidney during robotic surgery. The tool aims to reduce damage to healthy kidney tissue while still blocking the tumor's blood flow.
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 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 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.
This trial uses 3D computer models of children's tumors to help surgeons plan and perform safer operations. It is for children with tumors in the pelvic area (lower belly) or retroperitoneal area (deep in the back of the belly) who need an MRI or CT scan before surgery.
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.
