Comparing robot-assisted kidney surgery in different positions

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy using an extraperitoneal approach in the prone position compared to the traditional lateral position. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups to assess any advantages of the prone position regarding surgical outcomes and patient prognosis. The study aims to determine if the position during surgery impacts recovery and overall results for patients with renal tumors.

Why it matters

2. . Sex is not limited;
3. . Age ≥18 years;
4. . Clinical staging consistent with indications for partial nephrectomy;
5. . Suitable for robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy via extraperitoneal approach as judged by relevant preoperative clinical data;
6. . Agree to provide basic clinical information and pathological and imaging data for scientific research and sign an informed consent form;
7. . Agree to provide monitoring results during the follow-up recurrence monitoring process.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. . Patients who did not meet the indications for partial nephrectomy and did not undergo robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy via extraperitoneal approach;
2. . Patients who refuse to undergo or cannot tolerate surgery in the appropriate position;
3. . Patients with incomplete documentation of relevant data to provide accurate demographic, perioperative, and prognostic data;
4. . Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, may be detrimental to the subject or result in the inability of the subject to meet or perform the requirements of the study;
