Young Nephropexy

Young Nephropexy is a surgical procedure that is used to strengthen and stabilize the kidneys in the human body. It was developed by American urologist Hans Young in the 1930s and became popular due to its effectiveness and safety.

Nephropexy is an operation in which the surgeon secures the kidney to the abdominal wall or ribs to prevent it from descending and dislodging. This may be necessary for various kidney diseases such as nephroptosis (prolapsed kidney), nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) or kidney failure.

Young's nephropexy procedure involves several steps:

1. Preparation: Before the operation, the patient undergoes an examination and receives the necessary treatment.
2. Anesthesia: the patient is under general anesthesia.
3. Incision: The surgeon makes a small incision in the kidney area.
4. Stone removal: If necessary, the surgeon removes the stones from the kidneys.
5. Kidney fixation: the surgeon fixes the kidney using special sutures or implants.
6. Wound closure: After fixing the kidney, the surgeon closes the wound.

After surgery, the patient remains in the hospital for several days for observation and recovery. Then he can return to normal life, but must follow certain restrictions and doctor's recommendations.

Young nephropexy is highly effective and has a low risk of complications, making it one of the most popular treatments for kidney disease. However, like any other surgery, it may have its risks and side effects, so before undergoing it, you must carefully evaluate all possible risks and benefits.
