The only accepted, effective treatment for renal cell carcinoma is surgical removal of the affected kidney area. The Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy (LPN) is a minimally invasive procedure which removes only the area of the kidney containing the tumor. To improve the quality and effectiveness of LPN, the team designed a device which addresses the difficult elements of the procedure which hinder its widespread use.
