Digital tool to plan kidney clamping during robotic surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a small or medium-sized kidney tumor (stage cT1 or cT2) that hasn't spread.
- You are scheduled to have robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).
- You have had a CT scan with contrast (arterial phase) of your kidney.
- You can speak, read, or understand Dutch, English, or French.
- You do not have more than 3 tumors on the same kidney.

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 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 tests visual tools to help surgeons make better decisions for patients with early-stage prostate or kidney cancer. It may help you and your doctor choose the best treatment.
This trial tests a new PET scan (a special imaging test) to better grade kidney cancer before surgery. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors understand how aggressive the cancer is, so they can plan the best treatment for you.
