NCT ID NCT06846112

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests two ways to remove kidney tumors using robotic surgery: one that uses stitches to close the wound and one that skips stitches. About 248 adults with early-stage kidney cancer will take part. The goal is to see if the stitch-free method is just as safe and effective, with fewer complications and better kidney function afterward.
