At the operation theatre, the medical team would cleanse the operation portion or the abdomen area of the body with a solution. Then, general anesthesia would be given to the patient through an injection, which would put the patient in a sleep-like state before surgery or other medical procedure. A urinary catheter, which is a small tube that helps in draining the urine from a patient’s bladder, is placed in its position before the surgery. During the surgery, the surgeon and the anesthesia team works together to reduce the pain which the patient will feel after the surgery.

There are varied procedures of nephrectomy, depending on how the surgery is performed and how much of the kidney is to be removed. The varied procedures are explained below-

1. Laparoscopic Surgery: This is a minimally invasive procedure where the surgeon would make a few small incisions in the patient’s abdomen to insert a wand-like device, which is equipped with a video camera and surgical tools. If the entire kidney is to be removed, then the surgeon would make a larger opening or incision.

2. Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery: This is a variation of laparoscopic surgery where the surgeon uses a robotic system to perform the surgery. Robotic tools provide a better 3-D image during the process requires very small incisions and can make fine or complex motions, similar to those what a surgeon’s hands do in open surgery.

3. Open Surgery: In open surgery, the surgeon would make a single incision along the patient’s side or on his abdomen. Open surgery is the most preferred surgery option for the surgeons since it allows them to do surgery safely which is not allowed in less invasive procedures.

4. Radical Nephrectomy: It is a procedure to remove the whole kidney from a patient’s body along with the fatty tissues surrounding the kidney and a portion of the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder called ureter. The adrenal gland, which sits atop the kidney, may also be removed if a tumor is close to or involves the adrenal gland too. In some surgeries, the lymph nodes or other tissues are removed as well.

5. Partial Nephrectomy: It is a procedure where a part of the kidney is removed and the remaining part which is considered healthy is left at its place. Partial nephrectomy is also known as kidney sparing or nephron-sparing surgery. Here, the surgeon removes only the cancerous tumor affected a part of the kidney and leaves behind the healthy tissue.

The patient’s recovery time and his stay at the hospital post-surgery depend on his overall health and the type of nephrectomy surgery performed. The urinary catheter is left attached to the patient for a short period during his recovery. The doctors will give the patient a proper diet and activities chart before his discharge along with medications. At home, the patient may start his daily chores on a light basis but needs to avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting for several weeks. 

Before discharging and after getting discharged, the patient will undergo several tests to monitor the following factors related to kidney function -

• Blood Pressure: Because decreased kidney function results in an increase in blood pressure, which in turn can affect the remaining part of the kidney.

• Protein Urine Levels: If the patient’s urine level goes up (proteinuria), then there are high chances of kidney damage or poor kidney function.

• Waste Filtration: Glomerular filtration rate measures how efficiently a person’s kidney filters waste. A lower filtration rate is a sign of decreased kidney function.

Though nephrectomy is considered as a safe surgical procedure, it carries a potential risk of complications, which are stated below 

• Bleeding

• Infection

• Injury to nearby organs

• Though rarely, but can result in other serious problems too

Nephrectomy surgery has some long term complications, which usually relates to potential problems of living with a single or less than two complete, fully functioning kidneys. Nephrectomy surgery usually decreases the overall kidney function, but the remaining kidney tissue manages to work well to live a healthy life. The problems which generally occur with long term reduced kidney function are-

• High Blood Pressure

• Chronic Kidney Disease

Normally, the potential risks and complications of nephrectomy depend on the type of surgery performed, reasons for surgery, patient’s overall health and many other issues like the expertise and experience of the surgeon or the Urologist.
