Lumboscopy versus laparoscopy for kidney surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two minimally invasive ways to perform kidney surgery to see which one is easier on your breathing during the procedure. If you are having a partial or total kidney removal, you might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
