-
Recovery, quality of life, and physical function after partial or radical nephrectomy
This study tests recovery, quality of life, and physical function before and after nephrectomy to see how patients fare depending on the surgery type.
-
Pain management plan implementation for major open abdominal surgeries
This trial tests an opioid-epidural pain management approach to see if it improves post-surgical pain control for adults undergoing open abdominal procedures like colectomy, hepatectomy, and nephrectomy.
-
ESP vs EXORA blocks after laparoscopic nephrectomy
This observational study compares two pain-control blocks (ESP and EXORA) used after laparoscopic kidney removal to see which provides better pain relief and recovery.
-
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound and super-resolution imaging to predict kidney function after nephrectomy
This project will test whether special ultrasound scans—contrast-enhanced ultrasound and super-resolution imaging—can help predict kidney function and the risk and recovery of acute kidney injury in adults having partial or radical nephrectomy for kidney cancer.
-
New kidney biomarkers to predict kidney injury after radical nephrectomy
We will test whether measuring new kidney biomarkers before, during, and after radical nephrectomy can help predict acute kidney injury and one-year chronic kidney disease in adults having the operation.
-
Evaluating the impact of perinephric fat thickness on kidney function after donation
This study is testing if the thickness of fat around the kidneys affects kidney function and blood pressure in people who are donating a kidney.
-
Goal-directed blood pressure, fluid, and urine management to prevent kidney injury after kidney removal
This will try a targeted plan of fluids, medicines, and forced urine output during surgery to see if it reduces acute kidney injury in adults having a radical nephrectomy or nephroureterectomy.
-
Using low-thoracic epidural anesthesia for kidney removal surgery.
This study is testing if using low-thoracic epidural anesthesia during kidney removal surgery can help older and high-risk patients recover better and feel more satisfied compared to general anesthesia.
