Kidney Cancer Surgery
Precision-driven robotic and laparoscopic surgeries aimed at removing tumors while maximally preserving healthy kidney tissue.
Kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma) is a disease in which malignant cells form in the tubules of the kidney. Surgery is the primary and most effective treatment for localized kidney cancer.
Our approach focuses on 'nephron-sparing' techniques whenever possible. This means we aggressively target and remove the cancerous tumor while saving as much of your healthy kidney as possible to maintain long-term renal function.
Utilizing state-of-the-art robotic systems, Dr. Chugh performs highly complex dissections with extreme precision, resulting in less bleeding, smaller scars, and faster recovery.

What Causes This Condition?
Smoking
Smokers have a significantly higher risk of developing kidney cancer.
Obesity
Excess weight causes hormonal changes that may lead to renal cell carcinoma.
Hypertension
High blood pressure has been strongly linked to kidney cancer.
Family History
Genetic conditions like von Hippel-Lindau disease increase risk.
Treatment Options
Advanced, customized solutions for optimal recovery.
Kidney Sparing Surgery
Techniques designed to preserve the healthy portion of the kidney while removing the tumor.
Partial Nephrectomy
Surgical removal of the tumor and a small margin of healthy tissue, leaving the rest of the kidney intact.
Radical Nephrectomy
Complete removal of the affected kidney, the attached adrenal gland, and surrounding fatty tissue.
Bilateral Nephrectomy
The surgical removal of both kidneys, usually requiring the patient to undergo dialysis or a transplant.
Your Treatment Journey
Oncological Evaluation
Detailed staging of the cancer using advanced imaging.
Surgical Planning
Determining if a partial or radical nephrectomy is required based on tumor size and location.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Robotic or laparoscopic removal of the tumor for precision and rapid healing.
Pathology Analysis
Examining the removed tissue to ensure clear margins and stage the cancer accurately.
Recovery
Early mobilization and careful monitoring in the hospital.
Surveillance
Routine scans every 6-12 months to monitor for any recurrence.
