    History

    The first successful nephrectomy was

    performed by the German surgeonGustav Simon on August 2, 1869 in

    Heidelberg. Simon practiced the

    operation beforehand in animal

    experiments. He proved that one healthy

    kidney can be sufficient for urine

    excretion in humans.

    Laparoscopic nephrectomy

    There are various indications for this

    procedure, such as renal cell carcinoma,

    a non-functioning kidney (which may

    cause high blood pressure) and a

    congenitally small kidney (in which the

    kidney is swelling, causing it to press on

    nerves which can cause pain in unrelated

    areas such as the back). Nephrectomy forrenal cell carcinoma is rapidly being

    modified to allow partial removal of the

    kidney. Nephrectomy is also performed

    for the purpose of living donor kidney

    ransplantation. A nephroureterectomy is

    he removal of a kidney and the entire

    ureter and a small cuff of the bladder for

    urothelial cancer of the kidney or ureter.

    Procedure

    The surgery is performed with the patient under general anesthesia. A

    kidney can be removed through an open incision or laparoscopically.

    For the open procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the side of

    abdomen to reach the kidney. Depending on circumstances, the incisi

    can also be made midline. The ureter and blood vessels are

    disconnected, and the kidney is then removed. The laparoscopic

    approach utilizes three or four small (510 mm) cuts in the abdomina

    and flank area. The kidney is completely detached inside the body an

    then placed in a bag. One of the incisions is then expanded to remove

    the kidney for cancer operations. If the kidney is being removed for

    other causes, it can be morcellated and removed through the small incisions. Recently, this procedure is

    performed through a single incision in the patient's belly-button. This advanced technique is called single por

    aparoscopy.

    n January 2009, a woman who had previously had a hysterectomy was able to donate a kidney and have it

    removed through her vagina. The operation took place at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. This is the first tim

    healthy kidney has been removed via this method, though it has been done in the past for nephrectomies carr

    out due to pathology. Removing organs through orifices prevents some of the pain of an incision and the nee

    for a cosmetically unappealing larger scar. Any advance which leads to a decrease in pain and scarring has th

    potential to boost donor numbers.[1]This operation also has taken place at the Cleveland Clinic. The first

    ransvaginal Nephrectomy actually took place at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland Ohio.[2]

    For some illnesses, there are alternatives today that do not require the extraction of a kidney. Such alternative

    nclude renal embolization[3]for those who are poor candidates for surgery, or partial nephrectomy if possibl

    Occasionally renal cell cancers can involve adjacent organs, including the IVC, the colon, the pancreas or theiver. If the cancer has not spread to distant sites, it may be safely and completely removed surgically via ope

    or laparoscopic techniques.[4]

    After care

    Pain medication is often given to the patient after the surgery because of pain at the site of the incision. An IV

    with fluids is administered. Electrolyte balance and fluids are carefully monitored, because these are the

    functions of the kidneys. It is possible that the remaining kidney does not take over all functionality. A patien

    has to stay in the hospital between 2 and 7 days depending on the procedure and complications.

    Partial Nephrectomy

    Partial Nephrectomyis the surgical removal of a kidney tumor along with a thin rim of normal kidney, with

    he two aims of curing the cancer and preserving as much normal kidney as possible.

    History

    Czerny first described a partial nephrectomy in 1890.[5]However, due to limited x-ray and imaging capabilito find small kidney tumors and significant complications associated with early operations it was largely

    abandoned. More recently, with improved imaging, improved surgical techniques and increased kidney tumo

    detection, partial nephrectomy is performed more often.[6]

    Indications

    A partial nephrectomy should be attempted when there is a kidney tumor in a solitary kidney, when there are

    kidney tumors in both kidneys, or when removing the entire kidney could result in kidney failure and the nee

    for dialysis.

    Partial Nephrectomy is also the standard of care for nearly all patients with small renal masses (

    Procedure

    A partial nephrectomy is performed with a patient under general anesthesia as well. A partial nephrectomy ca

    be performed through an open, laparoscopic[9]or robotic approach. The patient is typically placed on the

    operating room bed lying on the side opposite the kidney tumor. The goal of the procedure is to remove the

    kidney tumor along with a thin rim of normal kidney tissue. Because the kidneys clean the blood, all blood

    eventually flows through the kidneys and 25% of it will go into the kidneys with each heart beat. In order to

    safely remove the kidney tumor, the blood flow to the kidney is often temporarily blocked off. The tumor is tcut out and the surgeon must sew the remaining kidney back together. Partial nephrectomy is often an

    alternative to complete or radical nephrectomy for renal cell cancer.

    Complications

    Patients who undergo partial nephrectomy experience complications around 15-25% of the time.[9][10]The m

    common complications are bleeding, infection and urinary leak.[9]

    Cancer Control, Quality of Life and Survival

    Partial nephrectomy offers the same chance of cure from the renal cell cancer as radical nephrectomy.[6][7]T

    was confirmed in a recent meta-analysis.[11]Partial nephrectomy has been shown to maintain kidney functio

    better than total removal.[7]There is some debate whether this preservation of kidney function leads to long-

    erm benefits to the patient.[12]Some studies have found that patients treated by partial nephrectomy live lon

    han patients who had their whole kidney removed.[7]Other studies have found the opposite.[13]Partial

    nephrectomy has been associated with better quality of life compared to radical nephrectomy.[14]
