- Guide. In percutaneous nephrolithotomy or nephrolithotripsy, the surgeon makes a small incision in your back to remove kidney stones. He or she then puts a hollow tube into your kidney and a probe through the tube. In nephrolithotomy, the surgeon removes the stone through the tube. In nephrolithotripsy, he or she breaks the stone up and then removes the fragments of the stone through the tube.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) Historically, large kidney and ureteral stones were removed through open surgery, requiring a large flank incision. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is performed through a 1-cm skin incision and thus minimizes incision size, pain, blood loss, blood transfusions and shortens hospitalization. This technique also has a higher success rate for clearing all stones in one setting than other techniques such as ESWL, which often require several procedures.

What is a nephrectomy? Nephrectomy (nephro = kidney, ectomy = removal) is the surgical removal of a kidney. The procedure is done to treat kidney cancer as well as other kidney diseases and injuries. Nephrectomy is also done to remove a healthy kidney from a donor (either living or deceased) for transplantation.

Nephrectomy Laparoscopic nephrectomy Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a form of minimally invasive surgery that utilizes instruments on long, narrow rods to view, cut, and remove the kidney. The surgeon views the kidney and surrounding tissue with a flexible videoscope.

- Kidney stones smaller than 1.5 cubic centimeters (roughly the size of a marble) that are not located in the lower third of the ureter are usually treated with ESWL. ESWL is a noninvasive procedure that uses shock waves to break up the kidney stone in situ (in place).

Radical Nephrectomy Radical Nephrectomy is a surgical procedure in which the entire kidney with it's collecting system is removed along with the adrenal gland and lymph glands of the same side. Partial Nephrectomy or Hemi-Nephrectomy - In this procedure, a small part of one kidney is removed. Simple Nephrectomy - In this procedure all of one kidney is removed. Radical Nephrectomy - This procedure involves surgical removal of one kidney along with the neighbouring adrenal gland and lymph nodes on the same side. Bilateral Nephrectomy - This procedure entails surgical removal of both the kidneys.

Removal of Kidney Cysts Laparoscopy and cyst removal is the treatment of choice for most patients with numerous or very large cysts. The laparoscopic approach is best for removing a large number of cysts and for those with a condition called adult polycystic kidney disease (APCKD).

- A urinary diversion is a surgical procedure that is performed to allow urine to safely pass from the kidneys into a pouch on a person’s abdomen (belly). It is performed for people who have otherwise untreatable urinary incontinence (leakage) chronic urinary infections, or dangerous bladder conditions that may damage kidney function.

Kidney Stones Diagnosis of kidney stones is best accomplished using an ultrasound, intravenous pyleography (IVP), or a CT scan. Most kidney stones will pass through the ureter to the bladder on their own with time. Treatment includes pain-control medications and, in some cases, medications to facilitate the passage of urine.

Kidney Stones Surgical Treatment This procedure can be used to remove or break up (fragment) stones located in the ureter. A special telescopic instrument resembling a long, thin telescope (ureteroscope) is inserted through the urethra and passed through the bladder and up the ureter to the stone.

- Urologists use ureteroscopy to remove stones that are stuck in the ureter and are closer to the bladder than the kidney (in the lower third of the ureter). But newer technology is allowing ureteroscopy to be used even for small stones in or near the kidney.

Nephrolithiasis Treatment & Management Larger stones (ie, ≥ 7 mm) that are unlikely to pass spontaneously require some type of surgical procedure. In some cases, hospitalizing a patient with a large stone to facilitate surgical stone intervention is reasonable. However, most patients with acute renal colic can be treated on an ambulatory basis.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) Failure to Remove the Stone: Despite placement of one or more tracts into the kidney to remove stones, there is a small chance that PCNL may not be able to successfully remove all stones as a result of either size, number or location of the stone within the collecting system.Additional treatment may be required.

Surgery for Kidney Cancer For a laparoscopic nephrectomy, special long instruments are inserted through the incisions, each of which is about 1/2-inch long, to remove the kidney. One of the instruments, the laparoscope, is a long tube with a small video camera on the end. This lets the surgeon see inside the abdomen.

Diagnosis Surgery to remove very large stones in the kidney. A procedure called percutaneous nephrolithotomy (nef-row-lih-THOT-uh-me) involves surgically removing a kidney stone using small telescopes and instruments inserted through a small incision in your back.arge stones and those that cause symptoms. Kidney stones that can't be treated with conservative measures — either because they're too large to pass on their own or because they cause bleeding, kidney damage or ongoing urinary tract infections — may require more extensive treatment. Procedures may include:

- ESWL uses shock waves that pass easily through the body but are strong enough to break up a kidney stone. This is the most commonly used medical procedure for treating kidney stones. Ureteroscopy. The surgeon passes a very thin viewing tool (ureteroscope) up the urinary tract to the stone's location, and then he or she uses tools to remove the stone or break it up for easier removal.

- stone fragmentation and removal. The whole procedure usually takes two hours. After the operation, a tube is left in the kidney and a catheter is left in the urethra (the tube. which carries urine from your bladder and out of your body) to ensure good urinary drainage.

Kidney Removal Laparoscopic kidney removal: 1  Your surgeon will make 3 or 4 small cuts, usually no more than 1-inch each, in your belly and side. The surgeon will use tiny probes and a camera to do the surgery. 2  Towards the end of the procedure, your doctor will make one of the cuts larger (around 4 inches) to take out the kidney.

Ladder Used for climbing walls either horizontally or vertically. To climb safely, you can sneak (hold shift) to hold on. Ladders occupy the entire space that they are in (classifying them as a solid block) although they are 2-dimensional objects. Ladders can provide a quick way of descending a long way.

nephrectomy nephrectomy. [-ek′təmē]. Etymology: Gk, nephros, kidney, ektomē, excision. the surgical removal of a kidney, performed to remove a tumor or otherwise diseased kidney. In the patient with renal failure, the kidney may be the cause of extreme hypertension, and therefore one or both kidneys are removed.he nephrectomy patient is administered general anesthesia and the surgeon makes an incision on the side or front of the abdomen. Muscle, fat, and tissue are cut away to reveal the kidney. The blood vessels connecting the kidney to the circulation are cut and clamped.
