ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called the Rein 3D Anxiety study, is looking at how using a personalized three-dimensional (3D) model of a patient's kidney tumor can help reduce anxiety before surgery. Specifically, the study compares three types of pre-operative information: viewing a 3D virtual model, handling a 3D printed model, and receiving standard information. The goal is to see if these methods can make patients feel less anxious the day before they undergo nephron-sparing surgery, which is a procedure to remove a kidney tumor while preserving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible.

To participate in this trial, you need to be an adult who is scheduled for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (a type of surgery for kidney tumors) and have a unilateral kidney tumor or be having your first surgery for a bilateral condition. Additionally, you must be able to give your consent and understand the information provided in French. If you join the study, you can expect to learn more about your condition through the 3D models and see if this approach helps ease your anxiety before surgery.
