About this trial

This sponsor-initiated, randomized controlled clinical trial aims to demonstrate the clinical efficacy of RUS NE Surgical Navigation System in patients undergoing robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy. The trial will compare the experimental group (n=102) using RUS NE with a control group (n=102), aiming to show an 10% reduction in operation time. The study will involve 6 medical centers in South Korea in patient recruitment and evaluate the clinical efficacy and feasibility of the software, which has been shown to be reliable in previous studies.

* Investigational Medical Device: RUS NE (Endoscopic Imaging Treatment Planning Software) * Clinical Trial duration: 24 months from IRB approval -Target number of subjects: Total of 204 participants

Treatments tested in this trial

  • RUS NE

    Device

    The RUS NE is an endoscopic imaging treatment planning software program. It creates a patient-specific simulation of the intra-abdominal surgical environments, allowing for the visualization of tumor, vascular structures and intra-abdominal organs during the surgical planning process and the operation. RUS NE utilizes preoperative CT images of the patients to segment tumor, organs, and blood vessels and reconstructs them into a 3D model. Although there is no direct intervention on the patient, the surgeon uses RUS NE as a surgical navigation tool to simulate the surgery before performing the actual procedure.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Operative time

The duration of time between starting a surgical incision to the last sutures of the operation.

Time frame
The operative day (operative day ± 5 days)

Secondary outcomes

1

Tumor and vessel identification time

The duration of time between starting manipulation of the surgeon console to the finishing dissection of the hilum and perinephric fat

Time frame
The operative day (operative day ± 5 days)
2

Resection volume

Calculated from the 3-dimensional lengths from the resected renal specimen using ellipsoid formula (π/6XYZ)

Time frame
From the postoperative 1week to the postoperative 5 weeks
3

Postoperative complications

Incidence of postoperative complications occurred within 4 weeks after the operation. The complications include urine leak, acute kidney injury, renal hemorrhage, fluid collection, abscess, and pulmonary or cardiac complications.

Time frame
From the postoperative 8 weeks to the postoperative 16 weeks
