Kidney Cancer: Can the Kidney Be Saved? Understanding Partial Nephrectomy | Dr Vivek Venkatramani

Описание: Kidney cancer treatment has evolved, and today many patients can avoid complete kidney removal. In this educational video, Dr. Vivek Venkatani, Consultant Uro-Oncologist & Robotic Surgeon in Mumbai, explains kidney-sparing surgery (partial nephrectomy) — a procedure that removes only the tumor while preserving the rest of the kidney.

This video covers:
✔ What is partial nephrectomy?
✔ Who is it recommended for?
✔ Benefits compared to radical (complete) nephrectomy
✔ Robotic surgery advantages (magnified view, precision instruments, ICG)
✔ Impact on long-term kidney function
✔ Risks, post-operative recovery, and when radical surgery may still be needed

Why kidney-sparing surgery matters:
Partial nephrectomy helps preserve kidney function — especially important for patients with conditions like diabetes or hypertension — and offers excellent cancer control with low recurrence rates. The robotic approach allows minimally invasive access, shorter hospital stay, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring.

Key Surgical Insights Shared in the Video:
– Tumor complexity (size, location, depth, blood supply)
– Role of robotic platforms in complex cases
– ICG fluorescence for ensuring complete tumor removal
– When open surgery is still required
– Bleeding & urine leakage risks
– Post-operative instructions & activity restrictions
