  • The major advantage of laparoscopic kidney surgery is that your doctor can now perform the same surgeries that used to require large open incisions with just a few tiny incisions about the size of a dime.
  • Percutaneous Kidney Surgery Percutaneous kidney surgery is the treatment of choice for patients with larger stones and when the stricture is in the lower part of the kidney or when RIRS cannot be done.
  • DISCUSSION These preliminary experiments suggest that image guided kidney surgery is feasible given that a geometrically descriptive surface is available intraoperatively.
  • Donor kidney surgery is now almost always performed using a minimally invasive procedure, which requires much smaller incisions than traditional surgery.
  • The cost of kidney surgery is far less than the cost of dialysis.
