Kidney Cancer Surgery

Kidney cancer surgery involves removing cancerous tumors from the kidney. The main types of surgery are partial nephrectomy, where only the tumor and some surrounding tissue are removed, and radical nephrectomy, which involves removing the entire kidney, nearby tissues, and sometimes lymph nodes. The choice of surgery depends on the tumor's size and location, as well as the patient’s overall health. This surgery aims to eliminate cancer, relieve symptoms, and improve life quality. Recovery can vary, but most patients follow up with regular check-ups to monitor for any recurrence.
