Brief summary

The primary objective is to determine if 3D modelling shortens total console operation time as a surrogate endpoint for clinical outcomes like perioperative complications and morbidity in robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy.

Detailed description

3DPN is a prospective, multicentre, randomised, controlled, two-armed, open trial to compare the 3D modelling with the 2D modelling in robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy. According to the randomisation the 3D or 2D modelling is used for patient information (before intervention) and for partial nephrectomy. A six-month follow-up visit is provided.

Interventions

PROCEDUREpartial kidney nephrectomy

surgery for partial nephrectomy

device to perform the surgery for partial nephrectomy (not the intervention of interest)

Inclusion criteria

* Patients with kidney tumours ≤ 7cm and planned robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy with the DaVinci Surgical System * CT scan with contrast medium available * Age ≥ 18 years * Written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

* History of surgery on affected kidney (e.g., partial nephrectomy, pyeloplasty, kidney cyst deroofing, percutaneous nephrolitholapaxy, radiofrequency ablation) * Clinical suspicion of metastases (stage cN1/cM1) * Horseshoe kidney * Previous malignancy with ongoing or planned nephrotoxic chemotherapy * Multifocal kidney tumour * Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome and other hereditary kidney cancer syndromes * Patient is immunosuppressed (e.g., organ transplantation, leukaemia) * Tumor thrombus in Vena renalis or Vena cava inferior * Severe cognitive impairment * Pregnancy or lactation or women with desire for children * Patients under legal supervision or guardianship * Unable to give informed consent or suspected lack of compliance * Patients who decline data collection and storage for the main study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Primary endpoint is the console operation time measured intra-op.intra-operativeTotal console time is measured as time from starting the surgical procedure in the DaVinci console to ending the procedure in the console.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pre-operative - PRA-DVisit 1: pre-operative (between surgery consent and operation - latest 7 days after surgery consent)Quality of the Physician-Patient Relationship - Evaluation of the German Version of the Patient Reactions Assessment (PRA-D); fifteen items with seven expressions from "I do not agree at all" to "I agree completely"
Pre-operative - STOAVisit 1: pre-operative (between surgery consent and operation - latest 7 days after surgery consent)STATE-TRAIT-Operations-Angst (STOA) for anxiety; thirty items with four expressions from "not at all" to "very"
Pre-operative - APAISVisit 1: pre-operative (between surgery consent and operation - latest 7 days after surgery consent)Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) for anxiety; six items with five expressions from "Do not agree at all" to "strongly agree"
Pre-operative - NRSVisit 1: pre-operative (between surgery consent and operation - latest 7 days after surgery consent)numeric rating scale (NRS) for anxiety; numeric scale form one to ten (not afraid at all to very big anxiety)
Pre-operative - Patient satisfaction questionnaireVisit 1: pre-operative (between surgery consent and operation - latest 7 days after surgery consent)Patient satisfaction questionnaire regarding the informed consent process
