What is Kidney Cancer?
Kidney cancer is an abnormal growth of kidney cells. It is often detected early through imaging tests or due to symptoms such as:
- Blood in the urine
- Pain in the flank or back
- Swelling in the abdomen or flank
- Unexplained weight loss or severe fatigue
Most kidney tumors do not cause symptoms in early stages, so early detection is crucial.
When is Surgery Needed?
- For a localized tumor within the kidney
- If the tumor threatens kidney function or causes symptoms
- Sometimes for preventive removal to avoid tumor growth or spread
What is Robot-Assisted Surgery?
Robot-assisted surgery uses precise robotic arms controlled by the surgeon to remove the tumor while preserving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible.
Performed through very small incisions, it reduces pain and shortens recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Advantages of Robotic Kidney Tumor Removal
✔ Small incisions → less pain and minimal scarring
✔ High precision in tumor removal while preserving kidney tissue
✔ Shorter recovery compared to open surgery
✔ Less blood loss and fewer complications
✔ Improved visualization of surrounding organs during surgery
After the Procedure
- Imaging follow-up to ensure complete tumor removal
- Periodic monitoring of kidney function
- Most patients return to daily activities within a few weeks

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Is the procedure painful?
With anesthesia and proper postoperative care, pain is usually mild and manageable with medications.
When can I return to daily activities?
Typically within 2–4 weeks, depending on the patient’s condition and tumor type.
Does the surgery preserve kidney function?
Yes. Robotic surgery allows removal of the tumor while preserving the maximum amount of healthy kidney tissue.
Is a long hospital stay required?
Usually 2–3 days, depending on the patient’s condition.
