Laparoscopic Nephrectomy in India
Star Hospital offers the best Laparoscopic Nephrectomy in India. Laparoscopic Nephrectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the entire non-functioning kidney and suspected or growing cancerous kidney through a small incision. Dr. Jasmeet Singh Ahluwalia at Star Hospital has vast experience in this field and has performed many surgeries using the latest and most advanced technologies. During the laparoscopic process, the surgeon controls the instruments and cameras through a computer console. Two types of nephrectomy exist: partial nephrectomy removes only the affected kidney area, done either through open surgery or laparoscopic/robotic methods, and also radical nephrectomy removes the entire kidney through laparoscopic/robotic or open surgery approaches. Laparoscopic Nephrectomy is safer than open surgery, and due to this, many patients prefer this surgery.
Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy for Kidney Cancer
In Laparoscopic Nephrectomy for Kidney Cancer, a urological surgeon performs nephrectomy to remove kidney tumors, including cancerous growths such as renal cell carcinoma. During this procedure, the entire non-functioning kidney, or the part of the kidney affected by cancer, is removed. Children are most likely to develop Wilms tumor, a rare form of kidney cancer. The amount of kidney tissue removed depends on factors such as the size and location of the tumor and its impact on kidney function. The surgeon will analyze the spread of cancer, the number of tumors, the health of the kidneys, the involvement of adjacent tissue, and overall kidney function. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive approach that involves small incisions on the abdomen to insert a camera and tools for removing kidney parts. The benefits of laparoscopic surgery include smaller incisions, faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and reduced post-operative complications.

Laparoscopic Nephrectomy Procedure
Laparoscopic Nephrectomy, also known as keyhole surgery, removes the kidney through small cuts in your abdomen. After being placed on the operating table, a catheter is inserted into your bladder to monitor urine output and deflate it during the operation. A plastic tube is placed in your stomach to inflate it with carbon dioxide, making room for the operation. Special instruments are inserted through ports in your abdomen to isolate the kidneys from the blood supply. The kidney is then removed through a small incision, with a drain placed to drain the fluid. The ports are removed, the wounds are closed with dissolvable stitches, and dressings are applied.
Before and after the procedure of laparoscopic nephrectomy
Before the operation
Before your operation, you must attend a pre-assessment clinic to assess your fitness for the surgery. This will involve undergoing tests to diagnose your blood, heart, and lung health, and you can ask any questions you may have about the procedure. You may also need to undergo an anesthetic evaluation, which will include heart and lung testing. You will receive detailed information about the admission process and the specifics of the surgery in a leaflet and in writing.
On the day of the operation, you will need to go to the admission ward for further investigation, consultation with the consultant, and sign the consent form. The anesthetist will discuss pain management and confirm dietary guidelines with you. After changing into a gown, your belongings will be secured, and you will be taken to the theatre for the administration of anesthesia.
After the operation
After your surgery, a well-trained nurse will closely monitor you in the recovery ward before transferring you to the general ward. During your stay, you will have a drip to provide fluids, which takes 1-2 days. For analyzing the urine output, a bladder catheter will be used, which is usually removed after you begin to move around. After surgery, nurses will regularly check your vital signs and encourage early mobilization to prevent blood clots, while also ensuring you wear compression stockings. You will receive a daily injection of a blood thinner, such as Fragmin, until your discharge, and instructions will be provided if you need to continue the treatment at home for up to four weeks. After your surgery, it is normal to experience some delays in bowel function. However, it is usually recommended that you return to your regular diet and fluid intake within a few days.
