Patient Reported Outcomes and Different Renal Artery Clamping Techniques During Robot Assisted Kidney Resection
A Prospective Cohort Study With Emphasis on Patient Reported Outcomes and Different Renal Artery Clamping Techniques During Robot Assisted Kidney Resection - the RAPTOR Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The target population for this study consists of all patients undergoing kidney surgery at Haukeland University Hospital, Norway, with the primary focus being patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. The study has two main objectives. First, the investigators aim to assess whether a flank approach to robot assisted partial nephrectomy may be superior to a trans abdominal approach with regard to postoperative pain, recovery, and quality of life. Second, while conducting this study, the investigators also seek to compare two methods of renal artery clamping during the partial nephrectomy procedure. Specifically, the investigators aim to determine whether a technique that reduces the duration of ischemia can be performed without causing an unacceptable increase in blood loss or postoperative complications.
