Robotic kidney tumor surgery: lying on stomach versus side
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a kidney tumor or mass seen on a CT or MRI scan.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your tumor is the type that can be treated with a partial nephrectomy (removing only the tumor and saving the rest of the kidney).
- You are willing to share your medical information and follow-up results for research.
- You are healthy enough to have surgery and can lie in the position needed for the operation.

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 study tests a robot-assisted surgery to remove part of the kidney for T1 tumors without clamping the main artery, which may help preserve kidney function. It may be an option for patients who are healthy enough for major surgery and have a small, early-stage kidney tumor.
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 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 compares two minimally invasive ways to remove kidney tumors—one using a robot and one using traditional small-instrument surgery (laparoscopy). The goal is to see which technique leads to better outcomes.
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.
