Kidney Procedures

Robotic radical nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove an entire kidney, typically for the treatment of kidney cancer. Performed using a robotic-assisted surgical system, this technique allows for enhanced precision, smaller incisions, and reduced blood loss compared to traditional open surgery.

The robotic approach provides the surgeon with improved visualization and dexterity, leading to better outcomes, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times for patients. It is an effective and advanced treatment option for cases where the kidney needs to be completely removed due to cancer or other serious kidney diseases.

Robotic partial nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove a kidney tumour while preserving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible. This technique is commonly used for treating small to medium-sized kidney cancers or benign tumours, helping maintain kidney function and reducing long-term health risks.

Using a robotic-assisted surgical system, the procedure allows for enhanced precision, smaller incisions, less blood loss, and faster recovery compared to open surgery. With improved visualization and dexterity, the robotic approach offers excellent outcomes, making it a preferred option for patients requiring kidney-sparing surgery.

Robotic pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, a condition where the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder is blocked. This procedure reconstructs the narrowed or obstructed area of the ureter to restore normal urine drainage and prevent kidney damage.

Using a robotic-assisted surgical system, the surgeon operates with enhanced precision, improved visualization, and smaller incisions, leading to less pain, minimal scarring, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to open surgery. Robotic pyeloplasty is a highly effective and durable treatment option, often providing long-term symptom relief and preserving kidney function.

Laser lithotripsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to break up stones in the urinary tract using a laser. It is commonly performed during a ureteroscopy and can treat stones in the kidneys, ureters (the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), bladder, and urethra (the tube through which urine exits the body).

Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive procedure used to break kidney stones into smaller fragments using targeted shockwaves. This enables the stone pieces to be passed more easily through the urinary tract. It is most commonly used when stones are located within the kidney or upper ureter.
