Laparoscopic nephrectomy. The surgery is performed with the patient under general anesthesia. A kidney can be removed through an open incision or by laparoscopic surgery. For the open procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the side of the abdomen to reach the kidney. Depending on circumstances, the incision can also be made midline.
Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive procedure, bandaid surgery, or keyhole surgery, is a modern surgical technique. There are a number of advantages to the patient with laparoscopic surgery versus an exploratory laparotomy. These include reduced pain due to smaller incisions, reduced hemorrhaging, and shorter recovery time.
Single-port laparoscopy (SPL) is a recently developed technique in laparoscopic surgery. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the surgeon operates almost exclusively through a single entry point, typically the patient's navel. Unlike a traditional multi-port laparoscopic approach, SPL leaves only a single small scar.
Alexander Gershman (born May 26, 1961, in Moscow, Soviet Union) is a Russian American surgeon.He is considered one of the first surgeons in the world to apply the method of laparoscopic surgery and robotic-assisted surgery to urological surgery and is considered one of the world’s leading experts on minimally invasive surgery.

Nephropexy is the surgical intervention aiming to reposition and fixate a floating or mobile kidney. [1] This is done in order to prevent its descent (nephroptosis) or to deliberately move the kidney downward in order to compensate for a shortened ureter. [1]

Clinical research interests include the evaluation of minimally invasive surgical procedures — specifically robotic reconstruction of the urinary tract and robotic partial nephrectomy — to replace open surgical treatments; developing and standardizing teaching of advanced robotic techniques for residents and practicing surgeons; using near ...
