A kidney is surgically removed during a nephrectomy (nephro = kidney and ectomy = removal). Along with other kidney disorders and traumas, kidney cancer is treated using this approach. Another use of nephrectomy is to eliminate a healthy kidney for transplantation from a donor, either alive or dead. For a sick kidney, there are two nephrectomy procedures: partial and radical. Only the damaged or diseased section of the kidney is extracted during a partial nephrectomy. In a radical nephrectomy, the entire kidney is removed along with a portion of the ureter, the adrenal gland that sits on top of the kidney, and the fatty tissue around the kidney. Bilateral nephrectomy is the name of the operation used when both kidneys are excluded simultaneously. Donor nephrectomy refers to the technique performed to remove a healthy kidney from a donor in preparation for transplantation.

You must be in good health and free of conditions that could cause renal failure in order to be considered as a kidney donor. These include hypertension and diabetes. The blood types of a potential recipient and donor are initially checked to ensure compatibility. The medical team will conduct a number of further tests once blood type compatibility has been established. These examinations are carried out to look for issues that could potentially lead to the recipient's body rejecting the new kidney. To find out whether the possible donor has any health issues that might preclude them from being a donor.

Some patients who need a nephrectomy are candidates for laparoscopic kidney removal surgery. A laparoscope is inserted during laparoscopic surgery through a succession of tiny abdominal wall "ports" or incisions. Through a small incision, it is utilised to view the abdominal cavity and remove the kidney. The process is carried out while completely unconscious. You'll need to have a bladder catheter inserted while you're unconscious, and it will need to be taken out several hours after the procedure. Laparoscopy can be utilized for both full and partial surgery and accomplishes the same goals as conventional surgical methods. Additionally, it is the method of choice for donor nephrectomy for kidney transplants. Less post-operative complications, a quicker recovery period, a shorter hospital stay, and smaller incisions are some benefits of laparoscopic surgery.

All surgical procedures have some risks and problems. Nephrectomy surgery could result in a number of potential side effects, including infection, bleeding that needs a blood transfusion, pneumonia following surgery, rare anaesthesia allergies, and fatalities additionally, and there is a slight chance that a patient with impaired function or illness in the remaining kidney will experience renal failure. Nephrectomy on a donor is extremely low risk when preparing for kidney transplantation. This is probably due to the fact that practically all living donors go through thorough pre-operative evaluation and testing to ensure they are fit for surgery. The majority of studies indicate that 1–2 deaths from donor nephrectomy occur every 10,000 donor surgeries. One or two patients out of every 100 may develop a post-operative surgical site infections or complication, and half of these individuals may need to have surgery again to address the condition. Most kidney donors have one kidney and live long, healthy lives.
