Nephrectomy in India starts from $4000. The total cost of the treatment depends on the diagnosis and facilities opted by the patient.
Nephrectomy is the procedure for removing either the part of the complete kidney. The patient may require a nephrectomy because of kidney cancer or other kidney diseases that result in a scarred, damaged, or non-functional kidney. The doctor also performs a nephrectomy of a healthy kidney from the donor as part of the kidney transplant procedure.
The nephrectomy may be a radical nephrectomy and partial nephrectomy. Radical nephrectomy is also known as complete nephrectomy. In this procedure, the surgeon removes the kidney and other associated structures such as the tube, adrenal gland, or lymph nodes. In the partial nephrectomy, the surgeon removes the diseased kidney tissues and leaves intact most parts of the kidney.
