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 two different ways to position your body during robot-assisted surgery to remove a small kidney tumor. One approach positions you on your side (the standard way), while the newer approach keeps you on your back. Both use the same robotic surgical system to remove the tumor while preserving as much healthy kidney as possible.
Doctors want to find the best surgical position that helps patients recover faster, go home sooner, and have fewer complications after kidney tumor surgery. The newer positioning method might reduce pain and speed up recovery, but researchers need to compare it directly with the standard approach to be sure.

If you enroll, you will be randomly assigned to one of two surgical groups. Both groups will undergo robot-assisted surgery to remove the kidney tumor, but using different patient positioning techniques. You will have one surgery at the hospital, and your recovery will be monitored closely. Doctors will assess your pain, how quickly you can walk and eat normally, whether you can go home the next day, and how well your kidney functions over the following 30 days.
