With imaging modalities being easily accessible incidentally found renal cancer is now not uncommon. This has shifted the spectrum of the disease, and the triad of pain, mass and haematuria (denoting possibly an advanced stage) is now thankfully a very rare presentation.
Early detection leads to multiple minimally invasive treatment options for patients where a nephrectomy may be avoided in suitable cases. The long-term success rate can exceed 80-90% in the case of small lesions when found early.
Kidney Cancer Surgery
Partial Nephrectomy
A partial nephrectomy is an operation performed to remove only the affected part of the kidney leaving behind normal parts which is important as it is essential to have as much renal reserve as possible in a lifetime. Procedure is performed laparoscopically/robotically or using open techniques.
Radical Nephrectomy
A radical nephrectomy procedure is performed to remove the entire kidney, along with its immediate coverings. This is needed for larger cancers and various parameters are taken into consideration (RENAL score for example) when considering this procedure. Once again this is successfully performed laparoscopically/robotically or using open techniques.
