Laparoscopic removal of a kidney can now be accomplished
with robotic surgery. The robotic procedure requires only
a few small incisions in the abdomen. The kidney is cut into
small pieces to facilitate removal. In contrast, the traditional “open” procedure
requires an incision that is several inches long to remove
the kidney and typically results in significant post-operative
pain and a large surgical scar.
