About

A prospective, randomized, controlled study designed to assess whether digital virtual reality (VR) models, created from existing CT scans and MRIs, provide surgeons with an improved understanding of their patients' anatomy, resulting in more efficient operations (robotic partial nephrectomy) and improved patient care.

Enrollment: 92 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 100 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Subject is undergoing robotic partial nephrectomy being performed by participating surgeon
• Subject is willing to be randomized between intervention and control arms

Exclusion criteria

• Cases involving subjects who are minors, pregnant or require an authorized representative for informed consent
• Cases in which the subject has a solitary or horseshoe kidney
• Cases in which the subject has more than two masses in the applicable kidney
• Cases involving a bilateral operation
