Robotic partial nephrectomy for small kidney tumors
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares different surgical methods for removing kidney tumors using a single-port robot. It aims to find the best approach for treating stage 1 kidney cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a single kidney tumor that is 7 cm or smaller, with no spread to other parts of the body.
- You are scheduled for a robot-assisted partial kidney removal using the Da Vinci SP system.
- You have not had a partial kidney removal on the same kidney before.
- You do not have severe chronic kidney disease (stage 5).

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.
This trial is comparing two different robotic systems (HUGO RAS and Da Vinci) used during surgery for prostate or kidney cancer. If you are scheduled for robot-assisted prostate removal or partial kidney removal, joining this study will help doctors see if one platform works better than the other.
This trial compares two minimally invasive ways to remove kidney tumors—one using a robot and one using traditional small-instrument surgery (laparoscopy). The goal is to see which technique leads to better outcomes.
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 tests a new, gentle way to remove small kidney tumors using a robot. The goal is to avoid cutting off blood supply to the kidney and to leave healthy tissue behind. It may help you keep more kidney function while still treating the cancer.
This study compares two ways of positioning patients during robotic kidney surgery to remove a tumor. The goal is to see which position leads to better outcomes, like less pain or faster recovery.
