Summary

This study tested a fast-recovery program for people having minimally invasive kidney surgery (laparoscopic or robotic) to remove tumors. The goal was to see if the program could safely shorten hospital stays by at least one day. Sixty patients took part, and researchers tracked how long they stayed in the hospital, any complications, and readmission rates.
