Partial Nephrectomy
Partial Nephrectomy: Removing the Tumor While Saving the Kidney
Partial nephrectomy removes a kidney tumor while keeping the healthy part of the organ, to preserve kidney function as much as possible.
What is Partial Nephrectomy?
For small kidney tumors, removing the whole kidney is often unnecessary. The surgeon removes the tumor with a margin of healthy tissue, then repairs the kidney. The procedure is most often performed laparoscopically.
Multidisciplinary Care
Your file is discussed by a team of surgeons and oncologists. The price shown is a starting price: it is confirmed after the file review, depending on the stage and extent of surgery. Follow-up after you return home is coordinated with your usual oncologist.
When is Partial Nephrectomy used?
The indication is confirmed after reviewing your complete medical file: kidney CT or MRI, blood tests with kidney function (creatinine) and, if done, biopsy. The file is reviewed by the medical team, who confirm that surgery is the right treatment for your situation.
