What are the advantages and disadvantages of kidney-saving surgery?

Many of our friends have kidney cancer. In order to protect their kidneys, many kidney cancer patients have taken the initiative to request kidney-sparing surgery after being admitted to the hospital. This is also an important criterion for measuring the level of the hospital. However, everything has its two sides. Nephron-sparing surgery is not a life-saving straw for all kidney cancer patients. Let us introduce the pros and cons of nephrectomy.

Compared with traditional radical renal cancer surgery, successful nephron-sparing surgery has the same tumor control effect and the advantage of retaining more functional nephrons, so it has become a hot topic in the current renal cancer surgery research. However, this surgery requires high technical content and has very strict surgical indications. In other words, not every renal cancer patient can retain the kidney. It is generally believed that only tumors with a diameter of less than 4 cm and confined to the edge or upper and lower poles of the kidney are worth retaining the kidney. At the same time, there are many patients with solitary kidney renal cancer, bilateral renal cancer, unilateral renal cancer with severe renal insufficiency, and unilateral renal cancer with pre-existing renal disease in the contralateral kidney. For them, nephron-sparing nephrectomy is the best choice. The surgery can not only achieve the purpose of completely removing the tumor lesions like traditional radical renal cancer surgery, but also can maximize the preservation of normal renal parenchymal units, provide a guarantee for the patient's kidney function reserve, and add a guarantee for their future health. However, for those renal cancer patients with large tumors close to the center, it is not worth the risk to bear the risk of residual tumor after surgery in order to achieve the purpose of renal preservation, and it is absolutely undesirable. The goal of tumor surgery is to remove as much cancerous tissue as possible. Therefore, radical nephrectomy that preserves the kidney unit is not a panacea. Whether to save the kidney after suffering from kidney cancer must be carefully decided by an experienced surgeon based on various factors, and close follow-up should be conducted after the operation. Do not be hasty and arbitrary, which may sow the seeds of disaster.

The above are the pros and cons of nephrectomy. Please carefully consider whether to have nephrectomy. Experts suggest: If you have symptoms of kidney cancer, do not delay diagnosis and do not let your life be ruined by hesitation. You should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease and causing serious consequences.
