Filter by:This trial studies how well technetium Tc-99m sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) works on clinical decision making in patients with kidney tumors. Diagnostic procedures, such as technetium Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT/CT may be a less invasive way to check for kidney tumors.
This clinical trial studies a type of ultrasound called robot-assisted laparoscopic high-intensity focused ultrasound for performing thermal ablative therapy, or sound wave therapy, in treating patients with small kidney masses undergoing partial removal of the kidney. The robot-assisted ultrasound probe takes images of the kidney to help doctors locate the mass. The probe then uses high frequency sound waves to target and ablate (or destroy) the kidney mass, which may be a cancerous tumor or benign tissue. Surgery is then performed to remove the part of the kidney with the mass. Robot-assisted laparoscopic high-intensity focused ultrasound for thermal ablative therapy may be safer and help doctors see the tumor better when performing kidney surgery.
Ulinastatin reduces systemic inflammatory responses and protects organs from ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of ulinastatin on postoperative renal function in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Seventy patients, aged 20 to 79 years, scheduled for robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy will be divided into ulinastatin (n=35) and control (n=35) groups. Randomly selected patients of the ulinastatin group are given ulinastatin. In contrast, patients in the control group receive an equivalent volume of normal saline as a placebo. The primary endpoints are postoperative renal function measured by serum creatinine, cystatin C, and urine output.
