Nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma is rapidly being modified to allow partial removal of the kidney. Nephrectomy is also performed for the purpose of living donor kidney transplantation. [1] A nephroureterectomy is the removal of a kidney and the entire ureter and a small cuff of the bladder for urothelial cancer of the kidney or ureter. [9]
Surgery for metastatic disease: If metastatic disease is present surgical treatment may still a viable option. Radical and partial nephrectomy can still occur, and in some cases, if the metastasis is small this can also be surgically removed. [10] This depends on what stage of growth and how far the disease has spread.
Although a combination of certain pain medications has been found to be more effective than opioids alone at managing discomfort after surgery, Black patients are less likely to receive this level ...
The reason for the patients' catabolic response was not understood at the time, but later attention was turned to the stress reaction caused by the surgery. [39] [40] The evolutionary background is believed to be that a wounded animal increases its chance of survival by using stored energy reserves. The stress reaction thus initiates a ...
[9] [10] The uses of ex vivo surgery followed by autotransplantation were reported also for heart, lungs and intestines, including multivisceral approaches. [6] Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), capable of differentiating into any cell type, have potential for solving the problem of donor organ shortage. Reprogramming technology would be ...
Loin pain-hematuria syndrome (LPHS) is a poorly defined disorder characterized by recurrent or persistent loin (flank) pain and hematuria that appears to represent glomerular bleeding. Most patients present with both manifestations, but some present with loin pain or hematuria alone.

Once the diagnosis has been made, the treatment for this disorder is a partial nephrectomy involving the affected calyces. [8] This relieves the obstruction, but leads to the loss of nephrons and renal function. With newer microscopic techniques, surgeons are now able to re-route the renal vasculature and relieve the compression on the affected ...
