A nephrectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of a kidney, typically performed to treat kidney cancer or to remove a benign tumor. A urologic surgeon performs this surgery.

There are different approaches to accessing the kidney. One method involves making a single large incision in the abdomen or side, known as an open nephrectomy. More commonly, the surgery is done through several small incisions in the abdomen, referred to as a laparoscopic nephrectomy. Sometimes, a robotic system is used for laparoscopic procedures. In robotic surgery, the surgeon operates surgical tools and a camera attached to robotic arms from a computer console near the operating table.

Types

There are two main types of Nephrectomy.

1)Radical nephrectomy: It removes the entire kidney.

2)Partial nephrectomy: It removes only a part of a kidney and leaves healthy tissue in place.

Why It's Done

A nephrectomy is most commonly performed to remove a tumor from the kidney, whether cancerous or benign. It can also be used to treat a diseased or damaged kidney. In addition, a nephrectomy is performed to remove a healthy kidney from a donor for transplantation into someone who needs a functioning kidney.

The most frequent cause of a nephrectomy is the removal of a kidney tumor. These tumors are often cancerous, but sometimes they're not. In other cases, nephrectomy can help treat a diseased or damaged kidney. Additionally, it is used to take a healthy kidney from an organ donor so that it can be transplanted into a recipient who needs a functional kidney.

Consult a physician if you get persistent headaches, particularly when standing, or if you experience infection symptoms like fever or redness at the puncture site. Watch for numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs. After the procedure, get help if you have problems controlling your bowels or urinating.

To prevent surgical complications, your physician will evaluate your health, review your medications, and look for allergies before a nephrectomy. To lower the chance of aspiration and associated complications, you will be asked to fast the night before surgery. Your doctor will talk about the best surgical strategy for your situation and clarify which kidney will be removed.

Nephrectomy can be done with robotic assistance, open surgery, or laparoscopic surgery. While laparoscopic and robotic procedures use smaller incisions and specialized instruments for a less invasive approach, open surgery requires a wider incision. The patient's condition and the case's intricacy determine the approach that is used.

Your surgeon will give you a better idea of what to expect, but a nephrectomy typically takes 2-4 hours to complete, though it may take longer depending on the condition of your body.

You will need to stay in the hospital for a few days following a nephrectomy in order to receive monitoring and pain relief. Physical activity is limited for several weeks to allow healing. Follow-up treatment guarantees a full recovery and evaluates the remaining kidney's function.

Nephrectomy has a high success rate, usually between 90 and 95 percent, depending on the patient's general health and the cause for the procedure.
