Nephrectomy is surgical removal of kidney, along with its collecting system i.e. renal pelvis and ureter. In other words surgery which is done to treat kidney cancer is called nephrectomy. Depending on the tumor size, location and stage, the surgical oncologist may choose to remove the entire kidney or just the portion affected by cancer. For advanced or metastatic kidney cancer, surgery can play a role along with other treatments. Radical nephrectomy involves removal of the entire kidney. There are two types of radical nephrectomy: Standard or "open" surgery: a four- to five-inch incision is made in the lower back. The surgeon removes the entire kidney through the incision. Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy: a small incision is made to insert a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera that allows the surgeon to view the treatment field on a monitor. Other tiny incisions are made for miniature surgical instruments to remove the kidney. Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy is quickly becoming the "gold standard" surgical treatment in the United States for properly selected kidney cancer patients. Its benefits include a shorter hospital stay, shorter recovery time and less blood loss than with open surgery. If you have renal cell carcinoma of kidney or polycystic kidney disease that has completely damaged your kidney tissue then you are an ideal candidate for Radical Nephrectomy.
