What is Radical Nephrectomy?

Radical nephrectomy is a surgery to remove the entire kidney. In some cases, it may also include removing nearby tissues like the adrenal gland, lymph nodes, or surrounding fat if the cancer has spread.

When the tumour is enormous or cannot be properly eliminated by just removing a portion of the kidney, this operation is typically performed.

What is Robotic Radical Nephrectomy?

In a minimally invasive procedure known as a robotic radical nephrectomy, the kidney is removed by the surgeon using robotic tools.

Using tiny incisions, the surgeon can make exact motions by controlling the robot via a console.

Compared to open surgery, this method provides more visualisation and control during the procedure and typically results in a faster recovery.
