Kidney Cancer Treatments
Kidney cancer (Renal Cell Carcinoma) requires organ-preserving, minimally invasive, and robotic-assisted approaches.
Robotic Partial Nephrectomy (Nephron-Sparing Surgery)
- The preferred treatment for small- to medium-sized kidney tumors.
- Allows for tumor removal while preserving the healthy part of the kidney, maintaining kidney function.
- Robotic techniques offer better surgical precision, reduced complications, and shorter recovery time compared to open surgery.
Robotic Radical Nephrectomy and IVC Thrombus Removal
- Recommended for large, locally advanced kidney tumors.
- Uses the Da Vinci robotic system for precise, minimally invasive tumor removal.
- Reduces pain, blood loss, and hospital stay compared to open surgery.
Thermal Ablation (Cryotherapy & Radiofrequency Ablation - RFA)
- For patients who are not surgical candidates, minimally invasive techniques like RFA and Cryotherapy can be used to destroy tumors without removing the kidney.
