Overview
Robotic partial or radical nephrectomy involves removing part or all of a kidney using the Da Vinci robotic system. The robotic approach offers greater precision, minimizing blood loss and resulting in faster recovery. It's an effective option for treating kidney cancer while preserving as much kidney function as possible.
Conditions Treated
Kidney Cancer
Adrenal Tumors
Who is it for?
For patients with kidney cancer needing partial or full kidney removal with robotic assistance
Benefits
Minimizes blood loss, reduces recovery time, and offers effective kidney cancer treatment with greater precision
How it Works
Robotic-assisted surgical removal of part (partial nephrectomy) or all (radical nephrectomy) of a kidney uses advanced technology to improve precision and potentially spare kidney function, offering a minimally invasive treatment option for kidney cancer.
Duration
2-4 hours
Recovery
Recovery typically ranges from 4-6 weeks. The minimally invasive approach aids in faster healing, allowing patients to return to normal activities sooner.
