Nephrectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of a kidney. It may be recommended for selected kidney conditions, including certain kidney tumors, severe kidney damage and other conditions where removal of kidney tissue is medically necessary.
Depending on the patient's condition, a urologist may recommend removal of the entire kidney or only the affected portion while preserving healthy kidney tissue.
The type of kidney surgery depends on the condition, location of the problem and the amount of kidney tissue that needs to be removed.
Radical nephrectomy involves removal of the entire affected kidney. Additional surrounding tissue may be removed when medically required.
Partial nephrectomy removes the affected portion of the kidney while aiming to preserve as much healthy kidney tissue as possible.
Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions and a camera to allow the surgeon to access the kidney through a minimally invasive approach when appropriate.
A urologist may consider nephrectomy when a kidney problem cannot be appropriately managed with other treatments.
Certain kidney tumors may require surgical removal of part or all of the affected kidney.
A severely damaged or poorly functioning kidney may sometimes require surgical removal.
Certain serious kidney conditions may require removal after specialist evaluation.
