Summary

This study compares two ways to position patients during robot-assisted surgery to remove small kidney tumors. One is the standard side-lying position, and the other is a newer back-lying position. Researchers want to see which approach leads to fewer complications, cleaner tumor removal, and a shorter hospital stay. The trial will involve 124 adults with early-stage kidney cancer.
