Patient Reported Outcomes and Different Renal Artery Clamping Techniques During Robot Assisted Kidney Resection
Sponsor: Bjarte Almas
Summary
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.

Conditions
Interventions
Standard clamping strategy
Patients randomized to standard declamping will have the clamp on until tumour resection, renorraphy and adaptation of the resection surfaces is performed
Early declamping strategy
The patients randomized to early declamping strategy will have the clamp on until tumour resection and ranorraphy is completed, but the clamp is removed before adaptation of the resection surfaces is performed
