A Pilot Study of Renal Hypothermia During Partial Nephrectomy

June 8, 2011 updated by: Mayo Clinic
Renal hypothermia may preserve renal function in patients who require partial nephrectomy. In preparation for a definitive randomized controlled trial this pilot study will assess feasibility and variance data to be used for sample size estimation
