On #WorldClinicalTrialsDay, we honor James Lind’s 1747 trial using citrus to fight scurvy.
Today, we’re swapping fruits for innovation in the PODRACING trial (NCT06536439), distributing 3D kidney models to support robot-assisted surgery.
From oranges to life-saving tech! 🍊➡️🤖

First patients succesfully operated @uzgent & @AZMMGent 🤖
PODRACING (Planning Operative strategy using a Digital Renal Artery ClampING tool) is a multicenter randomized controlled trial investigating the benefit of 3D perfusion zone models in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.
De dienst Urologie onderzoekt samen met @AZMMGent de voordelen van een innovatief 3D-niermodel in de behandeling van #nierkanker. Het model helpt tumoren efficiënter te verwijderen & geeft duidelijker beeld aan de patiënt over wat er tijdens de operatie zal gebeuren. @ugent_fge
