Nephrotomy Transverse

Among all the possible options for cutting the kidney, surgical intervention involves its dissection. The operation belongs to the category of open intervention, is performed under general anesthesia, and the instrument in the hands of the surgeon is represented by various saws and blades, depending on the specific clinical situation.

There are a number of reasons why a transverse nephrotomy is performed on the kidney: renal stone disease, hydronephrosis, urinary tract obstruction, injuries to the retroperitoneal organs. The method is highly traumatic, but saves a person’s life and is often used for bilateral pathologies.
