About Laparoscopic Nephrectomy

Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove a kidney. Performed by a nephrologist or a urologist, it involves making several small incisions in the abdomen through which a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. This technique provides a magnified view of the internal organs, allowing for precise removal of the kidney with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic nephrectomy typically results in less post-operative pain, reduced blood loss, smaller scars, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster recovery. It is commonly performed to treat kidney cancer, severe kidney damage from infection or trauma, or to remove a healthy kidney from a living donor for transplantation.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Sukanya was different. She actually sat and listened to the whole, messy story, asked about things no one else had, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was something quite rare. She explained it to me in plain Tamil, drew a little diagram on her notepad. I felt heard for the first time, and finally had a path forward.
