What is nephrectomy?
Nephrectomy is a surgery that involves the removal of all or part of a kidney. It is mostly used to treat kidney cancer or to remove a benign tumor. A nephrectomy is sometimes performed to treat a severely damaged or diseased kidney.
Donor nephrectomy is a procedure in which a urologic surgeon removes a healthy kidney from a donor in order to transplant it into someone who needs a functioning kidney.
Dr. Sumanta Mishra, a nephrectomy doctor in Bhubaneswar, can perform a nephrectomy through one large cut in the abdomen or side or a series of small cuts in the abdomen using a laparoscope.
What are the different types of nephrectomy?
- Radical nephrectomy
During a radical nephrectomy, the kidney removal specialist in Bhubaneswar removes the entire kidney and other tissues, such as a portion of the ureter or other nearby structures like lymph nodes or adrenal glands. Removal of both the kidneys at the same time is known as bilateral nephrectomy.
- Partial nephrectomy
The surgeon removes only the diseased tissue from a kidney and leaves healthy tissue intact during partial nephrectomy, also known as kidney-sparing surgery.
Why is a nephrectomy done?
A urologic surgeon most commonly performs nephrectomy in Bhubaneswar to remove a tumor from the kidney. The majority of these tumors are malignant, although they can also be benign. Some kidney diseases may also necessitate a nephrectomy, such as:
- Damaged kidney
- The kidney that is not functioning correctly
- Donating a kidney
What work does the kidney do?
A kidney is a small organ at the back of the upper abdomen. The kidney help:
- Filter our blood to remove waste, extra fluid, and electrolytes.
- Maintain appropriate mineral levels in our bloodstream.
- Produce hormones that impact the quantity of circulating red blood cells and help regulate blood pressure.
- Urine production
How is nephrectomy surgery performed?
Dr. Sumanta Mishra, a kidney removal specialist in Bhubaneswar, performs nephrectomy either by:
Laparoscopic surgery
The surgeon will decide whether you are a candidate for laparoscopic surgery or not. This procedure is done under general anesthesia.
The laparoscopic surgeon will pass the laparoscope through minor cuts in the abdomen that helps him to look inside and remove the kidney through a small incision.
Laparoscopy can be performed for radical and partial surgery and provides the same results as conventional surgical procedures. It is also the preferred procedure for nephrectomy in kidney transplant donors.
The following are some of the advantages of laparoscopic surgery:
- Quicker recovery
- Smaller incisions
- Shorter stay at the hospital
- Lesser complications after surgery
Laparoscopic nephrectomy needs specialized training and is not offered in all hospitals. In addition, your overall health and medical condition will determine if you can have laparoscopic surgery. You can consult Dr. Sumanta Mishra, a competent urologist for kidney removal in Bhubaneswar.
Open nephrectomy
Your surgeon will make a cut in your side that is up to 12 inches long. He will cut away the blood veins in your kidney and their connections to your bladder. He will then remove the entire organ. To get to your kidney, the surgeon may have to remove a rib.
Aftercare and recovery
Your hospital stay and recovery period are determined by your overall health and the type of nephrectomy performed. The urine catheter is removed 1-2 days after the surgery.
Before you leave the hospital, the doctor will instruct you on your diet restriction and activity. In general, you will be encouraged to start doing light, everyday tasks as soon as possible. For several weeks, you must refrain from vigorous exercise or activities.
