Laparoscopic Nephrectomy

---

Removal of the entire kidney intact through a small extraction excision for renal malignancies.

Several studies have clearly shown shorter hospital stays, less post-operative pain, and less disfigurement using the minimally invasive technique, without compromise of cancer control.
