What is a Robotic Nephrectomy?

A nephrectomy is the surgical removal of a kidney. It may be recommended for conditions such as kidney cancer. Depending on the stage of the disease, the size and location of the tumour, it may be possible to remove only the affected portion of the kidney. This is called a partial nephrectomy or kidney-sparing surgery. The aim is to remove the diseased tissue while preserving as much healthy, functioning kidney tissue as possible.

Why the Robotic Approach?

Robotic surgery allows the procedure to be performed through small incisions. The 3D magnified view and wristed instruments give the surgeon the precision needed to remove the tumour while carefully preserving healthy kidney tissue.

What Are the Potential Benefits Over Open Surgery?

Compared to open surgery, a robotic partial nephrectomy may offer:

  • Precise tumour removal with careful kidney reconstruction
  • An increased chance of preserving the kidney, where clinically appropriate
  • Reduced rate of operative complications
  • Shorter hospital stay

What Are the Potential Benefits Over Standard Laparoscopy?

Compared to standard laparoscopic surgery, the robotic approach may offer:

  • Shorter operating time
  • Reduced warm ischaemic time, which supports kidney function
  • Less blood loss
  • Shorter hospital stay

Dr Naudé will review your imaging and clinical findings to advise on the most appropriate approach.
