nephrectomy Surgery
An extensive procedure called a nephrectomy is used to remove all or part of your kidney. The abdomen has two tiny, bean-shaped organs called kidneys. They remove impurities and water from your blood. A few hormones are also produced by them.
- Radical Nephrectomy: This procedure involves the complete removal of the kidney, the surrounding fat, and the adrenal gland located on top of the kidney.
- Partial Nephrectomy: Also known as a nephron-sparing or kidney-sparing surgery, this procedure involves the removal of only the diseased or damaged portion of the kidney, leaving the healthy portion intact.
