Single-Incision Robotic Surgery for Upper Urinary Tract Cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new, less invasive robotic surgery using a single small incision to remove the kidney and the upper part of the ureter (the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder) in people with upper tract urothelial cancer. It may offer a faster recovery with fewer side effects compared to traditional surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with cancer in the upper urinary tract (the tubes from the kidneys to the bladder).
- Your cancer is limited to the upper tract and hasn't spread to the bladder or distant parts of your body.
- Your health is generally good (ASA score 1 or 2), meaning no major medical conditions that would make surgery risky.
- You are willing to follow the study plan and give your permission to participate.

This study is testing a new robotic surgery system called da Vinci SP for urologic (urinary tract and male reproductive) surgeries. It aims to see how well it works for conditions like prostate, kidney, and bladder problems.
This trial tests a new robotic system to remove bladder tumors in one piece (en-bloc resection) for people with early-stage, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. It may offer a more precise surgical option for eligible patients.
This trial tests a new robotic system for removing kidney tumors up to 7 cm. It aims to see if the technology helps surgeons perform partial nephrectomy (removing only the tumor) safely and effectively.
This study looks at how well patients do when they have kidney-sparing treatment (instead of complete kidney removal) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. It helps doctors understand which patients can safely avoid losing their kidney.
This study watches people with upper tract urothelial cancer who are having surgery to remove the kidney and ureter. It aims to collect information to better understand the disease and improve future care.
This study looks at a robotic prostate operation that aims to remove only the affected side while keeping the urethra (the tube for urination) to help preserve urinary function. It’s for people with low- to intermediate-risk, one-sided prostate cancer and no spread to lymph nodes, bones, or other organs.
