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 using ice to cool the kidney during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (a minimally invasive surgery to remove a tumor while preserving kidney function) helps the kidney recover better after surgery compared to not using cooling. Researchers will randomly assign participants to one of two groups and measure how well each person's kidney function bounces back in the weeks and months following surgery.
During kidney cancer surgery, surgeons sometimes need to temporarily stop blood flow to the kidney to safely remove the tumor. This study aims to determine whether cooling the kidney during that period protects it from damage and leads to better recovery of kidney function afterward.

You will undergo robot-assisted partial nephrectomy surgery. Before the procedure, you will be randomly assigned to either have ice applied to cool your kidney during surgery or to have surgery without this cooling technique. After surgery, your kidney function will be monitored and compared between the two groups over the short-term recovery period to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
