Comparing two kidney surgery stitching methods
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests two different ways to stitch the kidney after removing a tumor. It aims to see which method works better for patients with kidney cancer who need partial kidney removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for surgery to remove only part of your kidney
- You are expected to live at least 6 more months
- You are generally active and able to do daily tasks (ECOG score 0 or 1)

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 trial compares two approaches for people with a certain type of early kidney cancer: taking two medications (anlotinib and benmelstobart) instead of having surgery to remove the tumor. The goal is to see if the medications work as well as or better than surgery at controlling the cancer.
This trial compares two approaches for people with a kidney cyst that might be cancer: removing it with surgery, or keeping an eye on it with regular scans. It aims to see which option is better for long-term health.
This study compares two ways of temporarily stopping blood flow to the kidney during robot-assisted kidney surgery, to see which one leads to better patient-reported outcomes. It may help reduce pain and speed up recovery after your surgery.
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 study compares two minimally invasive surgical methods for removing kidney tumors while saving the rest of the kidney: one uses a robot, the other uses a thin tube with a camera (videolaparoscopy). It aims to see which technique works better for patients with non-spread kidney cancer.
