Evgenii • Consultation with a urologist Indonesia

I won’t talk about the way this clinic conducts business, namely that the price starts to rise when you are already there and your passport is with the registrar, all this is nothing, if there was a result, but the result is this - Urology of this institution is completely bottom, here in the bookcomed they praised that you will have a professor, and so, a professor who, as it turned out, specializes in child circumcisions, spent at most three minutes on me when providing tests and descriptions of the disease, and two on the results and treatment prescriptions, well, okay, I think, the professor, he treats in a second, but no, I was treated, the result is zero, just zero. And you understand this: time, money and most importantly health, there are still a lot of moments, but you can close your eyes to all this, if you were cured, if you at least tried to think about it
How can I like something? What a funny questionnaire? I was not cured, what I liked was tea, it would have been a very good teahouse

FAQ

Nephrectomy - what is it?
A nephrectomy is the surgical removal of a kidney. This is a radical procedure that is performed strictly under general anesthesia. If it is possible to leave part of the kidney, the doctor performs an incomplete nephrectomy or resection . It is important to know that this operation is possible only if the second kidney is absolutely healthy.
Types of nephrectomy

Depending on the method of carrying out, nephrectomy is divided into several types:

  • open nephrectomy;
  • laparoscopic surgery;
  • nephrectomy with robotic da Vinci system.

Open (cavitary) nephrectomy

Abdominal removal of the kidney is performed through an oblique incision in the lumbar region, the patient lies on a healthy side. By dissecting the tissues in layers, the surgeon reaches the kidney and separates it from the fatty capsule. Next, the organ is brought to the surface, the doctor bandages the ureter with adjacent vessels and excised them together with the renal pedicle. Having freed the organ from fixation, the surgeon removes it, sutures the surgical field in layers and applies a sterile bandage.

The duration of an open nephrectomy is 2-3 hours.

Laparoscopic kidney removal

The surgeon makes 3-4 punctures on the anterior and lateral surfaces of the abdominal wall (each 1 cm in diameter). Through them, a special instrument is inserted - a laparoscope with a camera for visualization and control of the operation. The doctor removes the kidney with the renal pedicle, ureter and blood vessels.

Laparoscopic nephrectomy is technically much more complicated than open surgery, but it has a number of advantages :


  • short rehabilitation period;
  • reduced postoperative pain syndrome;
  • absence of a large suture/scar in the patient.

Robotic surgery with Da Vinci

Specialists of foreign clinics are increasingly performing nephrectomy using the Da Vinci robotic unit . First of all, with its help, it is possible to carry out the most organ-preserving operation - to remove only a part of the affected kidney.

Today, the Da Vinci robot is the “gold standard” for nephrectomy. In the course of its implementation, the doctor controls the "hands" of the robot and makes punctures no larger than 1 cm. The duration of the robotic operation is about 2 hours, and the subsequent stay in the hospital is a maximum of 3 days.

Benefits of robotic nephrectomy with Da Vinci :


  • minimal blood loss and trauma during surgery;
  • low likelihood of complications;
  • short rehabilitation period (3-4 days), reduced pain syndrome;
  • absence of scars on the body after surgery.
