Our team provides comprehensive pre-operative evaluation and post-operative care to support full recovery and kidney health.

Helping you understand Our healthcare
• Simple Nephrectomy: Only the kidney is removed.
• Radical Nephrectomy: The kidney is removed along with nearby structures such as surrounding fat, adrenal gland, and nearby lymph nodes—mainly in cases of cancer.
You may need this surgery if you have:
• Kidney cancer
• A non-functioning or severely damaged kidney
• Recurrent kidney infections
• Kidney trauma or bleeding
• Large, painful kidney cysts or stones
Yes. Most people can live a normal, healthy life with one functioning kidney. The remaining kidney typically adapts and increases its workload to compensate.
Nephrectomy can be performed using:
• Open surgery (traditional incision)
• Laparoscopic (minimally invasive, keyhole surgery)
• Robotic-assisted surgery (high precision)
• Laparoscopic: 2–4 weeks for light activity
• Open surgery: 4–6 weeks or longer
Most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks, but heavy lifting should be avoided for 6–8 weeks.
