A nephrectomy is the surgical removal (resection) of a kidney. It is prescribed for tumors or chronic inflammatory diseases, when the body stops working properly and negatively affects the entire body.

  • Complete and partial resection of the kidney is possible. In world practice, doctors always try to save part of the organ. At the same time, they remove even large tumors up to 4, and sometimes up to 7 cm. A well-performed partial resection allows you to cope with the disease and preserve kidney function. You will receive effective treatment and save both kidneys.
  • Nephrectomy is performed by an open method, laparoscopically or using a Da Vinci robot. In international practice, open surgery, which requires a large incision (15-20 cm), is rarely performed by doctors. This method is considered too traumatic, with a high risk of postoperative complications, a long and painful rehabilitation period. Modern medical technologies make it possible to remove the kidney laparoscopically (through 3-4 thin punctures up to 1 cm) or on a Da Vinci robot. At the same time, you will spend only 2-3 days in the hospital and will be able to return to your usual way of life.
  • Consider the experience of the surgeon. A kidney tumor is a rare disease, so not every doctor has enough experience in performing a complete or partial resection. If you have been recommended such an operation, pay attention to the qualifications of the surgeon. Not only his experience is important, but also the number of surgical interventions performed by him, their success, skills in performing laparoscopic nephrectomy or kidney removal on the Da Vinci robot.

We have prepared for you a rating of the best clinics for nephrectomy. If you find it difficult to make a choice, please contact your Bookimed medical coordinator. We are here 24/7 to always take care of your health.
