What is Nephrectomy Surgery?
Nephrectomy surgery is the surgical removal of a kidney due to conditions like kidney cancer, severe infections, or kidney donation. It can be partial (removing a portion of the kidney) or radical (removing the entire kidney). This procedure is essential in cases where the kidney is severely damaged or diseased. It helps prevent further complications, improves overall health, and restores normal bodily functions. With advancements in medical technology, nephrectomy can now be performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, ensuring quicker recovery and fewer complications.
