Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for removing an entire diseased kidney. Traditionally, open surgery involving a large abdominal incision was the standard approach. However, laparoscopic nephrectomy offers significant advantages, making it the preferred method for most patients today. Here at Meerut Urologist, our team of experienced urologist led by Dr. Shaleen Shamra and Dr. Sarat Chandra Garg performs laparoscopic nephrectomy with advanced techniques and expertise.
Smaller incisions: Several small incisions are made in the abdomen instead of a large incision. This translates to less pain, scarring, and faster recovery time.
Reduced blood loss: Laparoscopic techniques offer greater precision, minimizing blood loss during surgery.
Shorter hospital stay: Faster recovery allows for discharge from the hospital sooner compared to traditional open surgery.
Improved cosmesis: Smaller incisions result in better cosmetic outcomes.
Quicker return to normal activities: Patients can generally resume normal activities more quickly after laparoscopic nephrectomy.
Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgery for removing a diseased or non-functioning kidney. It utilizes small incisions in the abdomen and specialized tools with a camera for magnified visualization. Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic nephrectomy offers benefits like less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times.

Laparoscopic nephrectomy might be suitable for patients with various kidney conditions, including:
During laparoscopic nephrectomy, several small incisions are made in the abdomen. A laparoscope, a thin instrument with a camera, is inserted through one incision to visualize the surgical field on a monitor. Surgical instruments are inserted through other incisions. The surgeon carefully dissects and removes the affected kidney with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. The removed kidney is then fragmented and extracted through one of the incisions.
Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove a portion of a diseased kidney while preserving healthy tissue. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with small tumors confined to one area of the kidney. Here at Meerut Urologist, our skilled urologist leverage advanced laparoscopic techniques to perform partial nephrectomies with exceptional precision and minimal impact on healthy kidney function.
Preserves healthy kidney tissue: This approach allows for maximum preservation of healthy kidney function compared to removing the entire kidney.
Minimally invasive: Similar to laparoscopic nephrectomy, it offers smaller incisions, faster recovery, and reduced pain.
Oncological control: Effective in removing cancerous tissue while maximizing kidney function.
Suitable for small tumors: Ideal for tumors confined to a specific area of the kidney.
Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for removing a small kidney tumor while preserving healthy kidney tissue. Small incisions are made in the abdomen, and surgeons use specialized instruments and a camera to visualize and remove the tumor. This approach offers advantages over traditional open surgery, including less pain, quicker recovery times, and potentially better long-term kidney function.

Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy might be an option for patients with:
The laparoscopic partial nephrectomy procedure shares similarities with a full nephrectomy. However, the surgeon meticulously identifies and removes only the tumor-containing portion of the kidney, preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. The remaining healthy tissue is then meticulously sealed to prevent bleeding.
