Cold ischemia robot-assisted partial nephrectomy trial
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies a robot-assisted surgery to remove part of the kidney while keeping the kidney cool to protect it. It may help patients who need this type of kidney surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are planning to have robot-assisted surgery to remove part of your kidney.
- You must be healthy enough for general anesthesia (being put to sleep for surgery).
- You cannot have serious heart or blood vessel disease.
- You cannot have a horseshoe kidney (kidneys fused together).
- You cannot be pregnant.

This study tests whether a brief, controlled interruption of blood flow to the kidney before surgery (called ischemic preconditioning) can reduce the risk of kidney injury afterward. It may help protect your kidney function during a partial nephrectomy.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery—laparoscopic and robotic-assisted—to remove kidney tumors while saving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible. It aims to see which approach leads to better outcomes and recovery for patients with small, early-stage kidney cancers.
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 study looks at using a cold (cryoablation) treatment along with partial kidney surgery to treat certain kidney tumors. It may help shrink or control the tumor while preserving more healthy kidney tissue.
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 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.
