Showing Laparoscopic Nephrectomy

Traveling From Canada

A Laparoscopic Nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for removing a kidney. It is performed under a general anaesthetic. Three or four small abdominal incisions are made in the abdomen to provide access for surgical instruments that are used to detach the kidney and to ligate the blood vessels. The intact kidney is enclosed in a bag and removed through an incision or it may be placed in an impermeable sack, morcellated and removed through one of the port sites.
