This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a personalized three-dimensional (3D) model of your kidney can help reduce anxiety before you have kidney cancer surgery. You'll be randomly assigned to one of three groups: one that uses a virtual 3D model on a computer, one that uses a printed 3D model you can hold, or a standard information group. Researchers will measure how anxious you feel before and after seeing your assigned model.
Many people feel significant fear and anxiety when facing cancer surgery because they don't fully understand what will happen. While doctors use 3D models to plan surgery better, no one has tested whether showing these models to patients actually reduces their worry and improves their understanding of the procedure.

You will attend a preoperative education consultation where you'll be shown information about your upcoming kidney surgery in one of three ways, depending on which group you're assigned to. During this visit, you'll complete questionnaires about your anxiety level, quality of life, and understanding of your condition. The study takes place before your surgery, so there are no additional procedures or follow-up visits beyond your normal surgical care.
