Stitch-Free kidney surgery could speed recovery in new trial
NCT ID NCT06846112
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · 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.
