Kidney cancer is also known as renal cell carcinoma. It's a disease where cancerous cells grow in the kidneys and can be dangerous to health. Kidney cancer is often treated with kidney removal surgery. It means removing the complete diseased kidney and surrounding tissues. This process is supposed to get rid of the cancerous growth, stop it from spreading more, and protect your health. It's especially important if the cancer is big or has spread past the kidney.
In the surgery process of radical nephrectomy, doctors usually cut the abdomen or flank to reach the kidney. The doctor carefully cuts the kidney's blood veins, making sure there is little blood loss. The kidney artery and vein are tightly closed or sealed to stop the bad cells from moving through blood. Then, the kidney that is not working right, along with nearby tissues and lymph nodes, is taken out carefully. When it's done, the doctor carefully sews up the cut. They use smart ways to make scars less noticeable. After post-surgery, you can expect a comprehensive recovery plan tailored to facilitate your healing process and optimise kidney function in case of a partial or full kidney removal surgery.
