Pain relief after robotic kidney surgery: R.E.C.K. vs Exparel
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests two different pain-relief medicines (R.E.C.K. and Exparel) given during robotic kidney surgery. It aims to find which works better to control pain after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a robotic surgery to remove part or all of your kidney.
- You are not pregnant.
- You have not taken strong daily opioid pain medicine in the last month.
- You are not allergic to the study pain medicines (R.E.C.K. or Exparel).

This study tests different combinations of pain medications during robotic surgery to remove all or part of a kidney due to cancer. The goal is to find the best way to control pain while keeping you comfortable and allowing you to go home the same day or next day.
This trial compares two long-acting pain medicines, Zynrelef and Exparel, to see which works better for pain control after robotic sleeve gastrectomy. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce the need for stronger painkillers.
This trial tests a special nerve block called QLESP to control pain after robotic partial kidney removal. It may reduce the need for strong pain medicines and improve recovery.
This Phase 2 study looks at whether taking an anti-inflammatory pain medicine (an NSAID) after robotic partial nephrectomy is safe and helpful. It may reduce pain while checking for stomach, bleeding, and heart-related side effects after kidney-sparing surgery.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after open kidney cancer surgery: an epidural (a thin tube placed near your spine) versus a single spinal injection of opioids. Both aim to control pain, but the study wants to see which method works better, with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain during robotic-assisted kidney or ureter surgery: a spinal injection of morphine or an intravenous infusion of lidocaine. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
