A laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove renal tumours through small incisions while preserving the healthy part of the kidney. This method may be appropriate for patients who have been diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, especially if the tumours are small and measure less than 4 cm in diameter.
A laparoscopic partial nephrectomy provides the advantages of a shorter hospital stay, less postoperative discomfort, and a lower risk of complications such as renal failure when compared to open surgery.
