More recently, with improved imaging, improved surgical techniques and increased kidney tumor detection, partial nephrectomy is performed more often.
12.
The recommended treatment for renal cell cancer may be nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy, surgical removal of all or part of the kidney.
13.
Radical and partial nephrectomy can still occur, and in some cases if the metastasis is small this can also be surgically removed.
14.
Partial Nephrectomy is also the standard of care for nearly all patients with small renal masses ( < 4 cm in size ).
15.
Removal of the kidney is the best surgical treatment in the overwhelming majority of cases, although polar resection ( partial nephrectomy ) has been effective for some people with localized disease.
16.
Nephron-sparing partial nephrectomy is used when the tumor is small ( less than 4 cm in diameter ) or when the patient has other medical concerns such as diabetes or hypertension.
17.
During June August 2005, Dever underwent extensive surgery for bi-lateral kidney cancer, involving a partial nephrectomy of the right kidney, and a full nephrectomy of the left kidney.
18.
He performed the first robotic radical nephrectomy, robotic partial nephrectomy, robotic donor nephrectomy, robotic nephroureterectomy, robotic adrenalectomy, and robotic ureteral reimplant & reconstruction at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.
19.
Robotic assisted partial nephrectomy has been proposed as a surgical treatment of a ruptured angiomyolipoma combining the advantages both of a kidney preservation procedure and the benefits of a minimal invasive procedure without compromising the safety of the patient.
20.
"' Partial Nephrectomy "'is the surgical removal of a kidney tumor along with a thin rim of normal kidney, with the two aims of curing the cancer and preserving as much normal kidney as possible.
