Robot-Assisted Ultrasound for Thermal Ablative Therapy in Treating Patients With Small Kidney Masses Undergoing Surgery

Start date: December 18, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.
