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

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]
