St. Zdislava Hospital in Velké Meziříčí, Czech Republic, offers comprehensive surgical treatment for kidney cancer. Minimally invasive procedures include laparoscopic surgery starting around $6,800 and robotic options using the Da Vinci system costing around $7,700 to $8,200. The clinic is the largest robotic surgery center in the country, led by a surgeon certified by the robotic system's manufacturer, Intuitive Surgical.
Three main surgical approaches are available. The team chooses the best one based on the tumor's size and location. All surgeries aim to remove the cancer while preserving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible. This helps protect long-term kidney function.
The hospital specializes in minimally invasive techniques. These methods use small incisions instead of one large cut. This leads to less pain and a faster recovery. Patients typically stay in the hospital for about 10 days.
Dr. Jaroslav Tvaruzek, the Medical Director, leads the robotic surgery program. He has 18 years of experience and has personally performed over 4,000 robotic procedures. Since 2007, he has completed more than 3,100 surgeries using the Da Vinci robot. He is a recommended specialist certified by Intuitive Surgical, the company that makes the robotic system.
St. Zdislava Hospital is accredited as a European leader in robotic prostatectomies, reflecting its surgical expertise. It performs over 1,100 robotic operations each year. The hospital is located in a nature reserve, providing a peaceful environment for recovery. For international patients, treatment packages can include airport transfers and translator services.
If you are considering treatment for kidney cancer, reviewing these surgical options with a specialist is a good first step.
