Laparoscopic Nephrectomy

What is it?

A minimally invasive surgery to remove one kidney (partial or complete) using laparoscopy. It is usually done for kidney diseases, tumors, or severe damage.

Types:

  • Simple Nephrectomy – Removal of a non-functioning or diseased kidney
  • Radical Nephrectomy – Removal of the entire kidney along with surrounding tissue, usually for kidney cancer
  • Partial Nephrectomy – Only the diseased part of the kidney is removed

  • Kidney tumors or cancer
  • Severely damaged or infected kidney
  • Non-functioning kidney (due to blockage, stones, or reflux)
  • Donation of kidney (for transplant)

How is it done?

  • 3–4 small incisions are made
  • A camera and instruments are inserted to free the kidney
  • The kidney (or part of it) is removed carefully
  • In some cases, a small enlargement of one incision is needed to take the kidney out
  • Internal organs are preserved as much as possible

Recovery:

  • Hospital stay: 2–3 days
  • Return to light activity in 1–2 weeks
  • Full recovery in 3–4 weeks
  • Regular follow-ups to monitor the remaining kidney
