Nephrotomy

Nephrotomy is a surgical operation involving dissection of the kidney parenchyma. Nephrotomy is usually performed to remove kidney stones (see Nephrolithotomy).

During a nephrotomy, the surgeon makes an incision in the lumbar region and exposes the kidney. He then makes an incision in the kidney parenchyma and removes the stones from the renal collecting system. This operation preserves kidney function, unlike nephrectomy, where the kidney is completely removed.

Nephrotomy can be performed using either open, laparoscopic or robotic access. The choice of method depends on the size and location of the stones, as well as the experience of the surgeon. Complications of nephrotomy may include bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding organs. After surgery, antibiotic therapy and observation are required to prevent complications.

Nephrotomy is a surgical procedure that is used to remove kidney stones. This procedure involves cutting the parenchyma (tissue) of the kidney to access the stone and remove it.

Nephrotomy is usually performed when there are large kidney stones that cannot be removed by other methods, such as lithotripsy (breaking up stones with ultrasound) or urethroscopy (removing stones through the ureter). This method can also be used in cases where the stone is in a difficult position, for example, deep in the kidney or in its upper part.

The nephrotomy procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make a small incision in the side of your abdomen and insert instruments to access the kidney. He will then make a small incision in the kidney parenchyma to gain access to the stone. The stone is usually removed using tweezers or other tools.

After the stone is removed, the infected tissue may be removed or treated to prevent infection. The surgeon will then close the incision in the kidney parenchyma and close the incision in the side wall of the abdomen.

Although nephrotomy is a relatively safe procedure, it may be associated with the risk of various complications such as bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding tissue. Therefore, before performing a nephrotomy, the physician must carefully evaluate the patient and consider all possible risks and benefits of the procedure.

In conclusion, nephrotomy is an effective method for removing kidney stones when other methods are ineffective or impossible. However, like any surgical procedure, there is a risk of complications and its use must be carefully considered on a case-by-case basis.

Nephrotomy is a surgical operation that involves cutting the kidney parenchyma. It is usually performed to remove kidney stones, which is a common reason for patients to visit urologists.

Nephrotomy is part of a complex procedure called nephrolithotomy. Nephrolithotomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove kidney stones. Stones can form in the kidneys when the urine contains excess mineral salts. These stones can be very large and cause severe pain, as well as lead to urinary tract infections.

Nephrotomy is one of the most common surgical procedures used to remove kidney stones. During this operation, the surgeon makes a small incision in the side of the patient's body, then cuts through the kidney parenchyma and removes the stone. After removing the stone, the surgeon closes the incision with sutures.

Nephrotomy surgery can be performed either open or laparoscopic. In open surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in the side of the body and then cuts through the kidney parenchyma. In laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon makes several small incisions in the side of the patient's body and then inserts a laparoscope, a thin tubular instrument with a camera and light that allows the surgeon to see the internal organs and perform the operation.

Nephrotomy is a relatively safe procedure that can be performed on most patients. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks and complications such as bleeding, infection and damage to nearby organs.

In conclusion, nephrotomy is a surgical procedure that is performed to remove kidney stones. It is part of the nephrolithotomy procedure and can be performed either open or laparoscopic. Although the procedure is relatively safe, there are risks and complications that should be considered when deciding to undergo surgery.
