German National Registry Collecting Data on Kidney-Preserving Surgery for Localized Kidney Tumors

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are collecting data from patients undergoing partial nephrectomy, a kidney-sparing surgery, to treat localized kidney tumors. This observational registry study aims to identify key factors that influence the quality of surgical care by gathering detailed clinical and outcome information. The study focuses on understanding outcomes related to different surgical approaches, including open and minimally-invasive techniques like robotic surgery, which is increasingly used for complex tumors. Participants in this study undergo nephron-sparing surgery for localized renal masses, and their clinical data is recorded in the G-NeSS registry. The data collected includes patient details, tumor location and complexity, surgical approach, complications during and after surgery, and kidney function. Follow-up questionnaires are conducted at 30 days, 12 months, 24 months, and 60 months to monitor long-term kidney function, comorbidities, and survival. During the study, participants will have their clinical and surgical information recorded, with regular follow-ups to assess outcomes such as complication rates, kidney function measured by glomerular filtration rate, and survival over 60 months. This comprehensive monitoring helps researchers understand the long-term effects of partial nephrectomy and improve surgical care for patients with kidney tumors. Participation may last up to five years with these scheduled assessments.
