Everything at Bumrungrad was above average, except the fact that they told me they d send me quotes on different procedures within 3 days and it took one full month and me pushing them 3 times in order to get these quotes. That is far from what anyone would expect from an hospital of this international standing. On the flip side though, the people from Bookimed were awesome and i was happily surprised by they re professionalism, presence and speed of response to any of my inquiry. I will recommend Bookimed's services to everyone i know that are in need. Keep it up Bookimed and all the best! :-)

Our Nephrectomy Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Nephrectomy, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Laparoscopic Nephrectomy

A minimally invasive procedure for kidney removal using small incisions and a camera-guided tool.

Pros: Minimally invasive with reduced blood loss and faster recovery. Lower risk of infection and complications with a 90% success rate.
Cons: Longer learning curve for surgeons compared to traditional open surgery. Limited access to complex renal masses.
Effectiveness: 95% success rate in kidney removal for cancer or donation.
Duration: 2-4 hours.
Recovery: 2-4 weeks.
Best for: Patients requiring kidney removal for cancer or donation, especially those preferring minimally invasive options.

Nephrectomy with Da Vinci Robot

This procedure involves the robotic-assisted removal of a kidney using the Da Vinci surgical system for precision and minimally invasive operation.

Pros: Provides enhanced precision with 3D visualization and robotic arms, reducing blood loss by up to 50%. Shorter hospital stay compared to traditional laparoscopic nephrectomy. Quicker recovery time.
Cons: Requires access to advanced robotic technology, which may not be available in all hospitals. Longer setup time compared to traditional methods.
Effectiveness: Success rate of over 95% in complete kidney removal for cancer treatment.
Duration: 3-4 hours
Recovery: 2-4 weeks
Best for: Patients with renal tumors or kidney cancer, especially when precision is critical. Suitable for individuals seeking minimally invasive surgery.

Kidney-sparing surgery

Renal resection involves removing part of the kidney to treat conditions like tumors while preserving kidney function.

Pros: Preserves kidney function, reducing the risk of chronic kidney disease. Higher patient satisfaction with functional outcomes, retaining up to 80% of kidney function post-surgery.
Cons: More complex than kidney extraction with potential for longer surgical times. Increased risk of complications like bleeding or urine leakage.
Effectiveness: Success rates can reach up to 90% in preserving renal function and removing tumors.
Duration: 3-4 hours
Recovery: 2-6 weeks
Best for: Suitable for patients with small renal tumors (less than 4 cm) or bilateral kidney issues.
