This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to test whether using a 3D-printed model of your own kidney — created from your imaging scans — helps you understand your surgery better than a generic kidney model would. Both are just educational tools to help you learn about your condition and what the surgeon will do. This trial is for patients scheduled to have surgery to remove a tumor from one or both kidneys.
Many patients feel anxious and confused before surgery, especially those who don't have much medical background. Early research showed that letting patients see and hold a 3D model of their own kidney before surgery reduced anxiety and improved their recovery. This trial wants to find out whether a custom model made just for you works even better than a standard model.

You will be randomly assigned to receive either a personalized 3D model of your kidney or a standard 3D model. At a pre-surgery education visit, you'll be shown and can handle your assigned model while the surgical team explains your procedure. You'll complete questionnaires about your medical knowledge, anxiety level, and satisfaction with the model. You'll also be asked to participate in brief interviews at different times before and after your surgery to share your experience.
