Nephrological Surgeries

Urological surgeries involving the assistance of surgical robots help improve clinical outcomes and minimize complications. In addition, it allows surgeons to reach those sites that are difficult to reach during open surgeries.

Our Offerings

  • Nephrectomy: Nephrectomy removes a part (particle nephrectomy) or the entire kidney (radical nephrectomy). The procedure is primarily performed to treat kidney cancer. With the availability of advanced technology and improved training and experience, nearly all cases of kidney cancer can be managed through robotic surgery.
  • Robotic Nephroureterectomy: The procedure involves the removal of the kidney, ureter, and surrounding lymph nodes affected by cancer. The technique offers several advantages, such as reduced pain, less blood loss, reduced blood transfusion risk, and a shorter hospital stay.
  • Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty: This procedure is performed to treat ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Before the robotic technique, the surgery was performed using an open technique. However, robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty has a significantly high success rate (>90%) without large incisions, morbidity, or associated pain.
  • Robotic Renal Transplant Surgery: This is a minimally invasive surgery involving robotic arms for performing a kidney transplant. The surgery is performed by the surgeons experienced in transplant surgery through a robotic approach. Use of robot-assisted technology significantly reduces hand tremors and allows surgeons to perform the surgery with precision and better control.
  • Renal Stone Removal Surgery: Robotic-assisted renal stone removal surgery is a safe and highly effective method for removing renal stones in patients who are not getting relief from non-invasive measures. The surgery is generally performed under anesthesia, and the patients have fewer complications than with open surgery.
  • Radical Cystectomy: Cystectomy is a procedure that involves the removal of the urinary bladder. It is usually performed to treat muscle-invasive bladder cancer. This cancer invades the wall of the bladder muscles and might spread to other organs. Thus, the patients are recommended to undergo radical cystectomy. The urological surgeon trained in robotic surgery removes the bladder with minimal complications during this procedure.
