Comparing Two Different Approaches in Robotic-Assisted Renal Surgery
Comparing the Modified Novel Trans-Retro Approach vs Conventional Retroperitoneal Approach in Robotic-Assisted Renal Surgery: An Open Label Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 Nov 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this study is to determine if the novel TR approach is superior to the standard RP approach. The anticipated study outcome is a time saving of at least 30% from first skin incision to detection of the renal artery compared to the conventional RP approach, and also a better workspace perception by the operating surgeon.
