Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective is to assess the ability to achieve preoperatively planned resection volumes by adding EM tracked navigation in RAPN, as minimizing the removal of healthy kidney tissue is challenging nowadays. A deviation within 35% between the planned and actual resection volumes is considered comparable and therefore deemed successful. The study is determined successful when at least 70% of the inclusions (i.e., 14 of 20 navigated procedures) reach a deviation below 35%. During surgery, a 3D digital model shows the lesion alongside the resection plane defined by the surgeon. This visualization aids the surgeon in achieving the predetermined resection volume. After surgery, the actual resected volume is calculated based on a post-operative CT scans. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To evaluate the time necessary to localize and remove the renal lesion by recording the time; - To determine the clinical success of the procedure, marked by the number of negative resection margins; - To evaluate the appearance of any technical issues during surgery related to the navigation setup; - To evaluate the support for decisiveness during surgery compared to conventional methods using a questionnaire for the surgeon. | — |
