Also known as "Nephron-Sparing Surgery," this is the preferred treatment for smaller, localized kidney tumors (typically under 4-7 cm). The primary goal is to safely remove the cancer while saving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible.
During a partial nephrectomy, Dr. Kataria precisely excises the tumor and a small margin of healthy tissue to ensure clear margins. The remaining kidney is then meticulously reconstructed. Preserving kidney function is critical for your long-term health, significantly reducing the risk of chronic kidney disease later in life.
For larger tumors, tumors located centrally within the kidney, or aggressive cancers that have spread to surrounding tissues, a Radical Nephrectomy is medically necessary to ensure the highest chance of a complete cure.
Navigating a cancer diagnosis is challenging. Schedule a dedicated second-opinion consultation to review your scans, discuss organ-preserving options, and formulate a definitive surgical plan.
