Summary

This study compares two ways to remove a kidney: laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery and open surgery. Researchers will look at how long patients stay in the hospital, blood loss, complications, and costs. The study includes 60 adults with a nonfunctioning kidney or early-stage kidney cancer who need surgery.
