New recovery program aims to get kidney surgery patients home faster
NCT ID NCT04601129
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- enhanced recovery after surgery program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help patients leave the hospital sooner after kidney surgery without extra complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The program may not reduce hospital stays as expected.
