Testing a 3D imaging system for robot kidney surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new 3D imaging system (RUS NE) to help surgeons perform robot-assisted partial nephrectomy more safely and effectively. If you have a small to medium-sized kidney tumor and are already scheduled for this surgery, the researchers want to compare your outcomes to people who had the standard procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- You have kidney cancer and are planning to have a robot-assisted surgery to remove just the tumor part of your kidney.
- Your kidney tumor is 10 cm (about 4 inches) or smaller on a CT scan.
- Your tumor has a RENAL Nephrometry Score between 4 and 12 (your doctor can tell you this).
- You have not had abdominal surgery that caused major internal scarring.
- You do not have a solitary kidney, a horseshoe kidney, or severe kidney disease (like being on dialysis).

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 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 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.
