Minimally Invasive Surgery Kidney and Ureteral Ailments

Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgery allow minimally invasive treatment for patients afflicted with tumors of the kidney and ureter. Robotic and laparoscopic surgery also lends itself to repair of congenital or acquired abnormalities of the kidney and ureter. The most frequent applications of these technologies are listed below:

• Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy - to remove a kidney with a large tumor
• Robotic/Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy - to removed a small tumor from a kidney
• Laparoscopic Nephroureterectomy - to remove a kidney/ureter afflicted with transitional cell carcinoma
• Robotic Dismembered pyeloplasty - to repair kidney with poor drainage
• Robotic Renal Stone removal - to remove large kidney or ureteral stones
• Robotic Repair of Upper Ureteral Stricture
• Laparoscopic Repair of Retroperitoneal Fibrosis
• Robotic/Laparoscopic Ureteral Reimplant - to repair and reimplant a damaged or strictured distal ureter.
• Robotic Partial Cystectomy - to remove a localized tumor in the urinary bladder
• Robotic Excision of Bladder Diverticula that impede normal bladder emptying
