Kidney Surgery

It is also called Radical Nephrectomy. The surgeon removes the entire kidney, the fatty tissues around the kidney, and a part of the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder. If a tumour is adjacent to or includes the adrenal gland (which lies at top of the kidney), the surgeon may remove it.
