Study Summary

This trial is testing two different ways to guide surgeons during cancer surgery to remove lymph nodes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with confirmed or suspected urologic cancers (bladder, prostate, testicular, kidney, urethral, penile) who need lymph node removal surgery. They must have had a recent quality imaging scan at Brigham and Women's Hospital and be able to undergo general anesthesia without significant health risks.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two navigation systems: the 3D Slicer-based system and the Siemens Monaco system. These are used during laparoscopic lymphadenectomy (lymph node removal surgery) to see if they can make this complex procedure simpler for patients with urological cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed for the navigation systems being tested, typical risks of laparoscopic lymphadenectomy may include bleeding, infection, pain at incision sites, possible damage to nearby organs or tissues.
