About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
To establish evidence that cold ischemia, achieved through the use of ice slush, can improve the recovery from ischemia on the operated kidney in patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Cold ischemiaTreatment being tested
During the surgical procedure, employing ice to achieve local hypothermia in the kidneys.
Treatment: Cold ischemia robot-assisted partial nephrectomy
- Warm ischemiaExisting treatment, for comparison
Not applying local hypothermia to the kidneys during the surgical procedure
Treatment: Warm ischemia robot-assisted partial nephrectomy
Questions to ask the study team
- How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
- Are travel costs paid?
- Can I keep my own doctor?
- What happens if I want to stop?
