Laparoscopic Nephrectomy

Laparoscopic Nephrectomy provides patients with a unscratched and constructive way to remove a diseased or tumor kidney. Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a minimally invasive technique, which provides patients with less discomfort and equivalent results when compared to the larger incision required with traditional open surgery.

The Surgery

Laparoscopic nephrectomy is performed under a unstipulated anesthetic. The typical length of the operation is 3-4 hours. The surgery is performed through 3 small (1cm) incisions made in the abdomen. A telescope and small instruments are inserted into the stomach through these keyhole incisions, which indulge the surgeon to completely self-ruling and dissect the kidney without having to place his hands on the abdomen.

Avoidance of potential exenterate complications without surgery

Less postoperative pain and less need for pain medication

Quicker return to normal worriedness and work
