Using personalized 3D kidney models to improve patient experience before surgery

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 aims to compare the effectiveness of personalized versus generic 3D printed models of patients' tumoral kidneys in enhancing preoperative education and reducing anxiety before nephron-sparing surgery. The study will involve 60 adult patients scheduled for robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, who will be randomized to receive either a personalized or generic 3D model. The primary outcome will be assessed through semi-structured interviews with patients and their caregivers, focusing on their understanding and satisfaction with the surgical process. The trial seeks to address the importance of health literacy and personalized care in improving patient outcomes.
