ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a type of surgery called robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, which is used to remove part of a kidney affected by a tumor. The main focus of the study is to compare two different positions during surgery: the prone position (lying face down) and the lateral position (lying on the side). Researchers want to find out if having the surgery in the prone position is safer and better for patients compared to the traditional lateral position, and whether it affects patients' recovery and overall health outcomes.

To participate in this trial, patients need to be at least 18 years old and have imaging results that show a kidney tumor. They also must be eligible for the robotic surgery approach. If enrolled, participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two positions for their surgery and will have follow-up check-ups at various points after surgery to monitor their recovery and health. It's important for potential participants to understand that they will need to provide some personal health information and agree to regular follow-up assessments as part of the study.
