The aim is to achieve oncological control by removing the tumor tissue with safe margins.<\/p>\n<p>Partial nephrectomy indications aim to preserve kidney function in small tumors and can be applied with minimally invasive techniques. Laparoscopic or robotic surgical methods offer the advantages of less blood loss, a shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Radical nephrectomy is preferred in large or spreading tumors and includes the removal of the entire kidney and surrounding tissues. Lymph node dissection and, when necessary, removal of the adrenal gland allow the surgical scope to be expanded specifically for the patient.<\/p>\n<p>The postoperative recovery process varies depending on the patient&#8217;s general condition and the method applied, and regular follow-up is essential. Although the risk of complications is low, clinical monitoring is important in terms of infection, bleeding, and decreased kidney function.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>What You Need to Know<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Information<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Definition of the Surgery<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kidney cancer surgery is the surgical removal of the malignant tumor in the kidney.

id=\"What_is_kidney_cancer_and_why_are_we_encountering_it_more_frequently_today\"><\/span>What is kidney cancer and why are we encountering it more frequently today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Kidney cancer, in its most basic definition, is the transformation and aggressive behavior of the cells in the microscopic tubules of the kidney that filter the blood and form urine. These cells, which manage to escape the body&#8217;s defense mechanisms, combine over time and form a mass. Looking at medical statistics, it is noteworthy that the incidence of this disease has been steadily increasing worldwide in recent years. An average increase of between two and three percent is reported each year.<\/p>\n<p>At first glance, this increase may be perceived as a rather frightening picture. However, the truth is very different and actually hopeful. The main reason for this increase in the number of cases is not that the disease has suddenly become much more widespread, but the enormous advances in medical imaging technologies and the fact that people now undergo health check-ups much more frequently than before. Today, in a routine abdominal ultrasonography performed on a person who visits the hospital due to gallbladder complaints, stomach pain, indigestion, or for a completely different reason, suspicious kidney masses that are still millimetric in size can be detected incidentally.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, these masses would grow silently for years in the depths of the body and were only noticed when they reached a very large size and damaged surrounding organs or caused bleeding. Today, however, the vast majority of these incidentally detected masses are small tumors at a very early stage, which have not yet spread anywhere and have caused no complaints to the patient. In other words, although there appears to be a statistical increase in the number of diseases thanks to the development of technology, this actually means that we are catching cancer at its weakest and most treatable moment. Thanks to early diagnosis, the rates of vital risk due to this disease are showing a marked decline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_main_factors_that_increase_the_risk_of_kidney_cancer\"><\/span>What are the main factors that increase the risk of kidney cancer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Why cells suddenly change their genetic structure and become cancerous cannot always be attributed to a single cause. However, some main risk factors that trigger, accelerate cellular deterioration, and pave the way for the disease have been scientifically proven.<\/p>\n<p>The risk factors are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smoking<\/li>\n<li>Obesity<\/li>\n<li>High blood pressure<\/li>\n<li>Advanced age<\/li>\n<li>Genetic predisposition<\/li>\n<li>Male sex<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is quite important to understand how these factors affect the body. Smoking is the greatest and most dangerous external factor that damages kidney tissue. Thousands of toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke inhaled into the lungs rapidly mix into the bloodstream. The kidneys, which are the body&#8217;s filter, work tirelessly to clean this toxic blood. In this process, kidney cells are heavily exposed to toxins. This poisonous exposure lasting for years directly disrupts the DNA structure of the cells and initiates the carcinogenic process. The fact that the probability of smokers developing this disease is quite high compared to non-smokers is entirely explained by this mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>Obesity and excessive weight problems create a continuous hormonal imbalance and a hidden inflammatory state in the body. Fat tissue is not just a passive storage site but also an active organ that continuously produces hormones. Increased insulin resistance and some growth factors in the body due to obesity may trigger uncontrolled growth by giving kidney cells a &#8220;keep multiplying&#8221; command. High blood pressure, which often accompanies this, creates mechanical stress in the extremely sensitive and delicate vascular network inside the kidney. In tissues that are crushed under constant high pressure and constantly being repaired, cellular errors that may turn into cancer are much more likely to occur over time.<\/p>\n<p>Genetic predisposition, although it constitutes a small portion of cases in society, is especially the main cause of diseases that occur at a young age. Some defective genes inherited from the family eliminate the cell&#8217;s self-braking mechanism. In such hereditary conditions, the disease usually begins at earlier ages and sometimes may appear in both kidneys at once, in the form of multiple masses.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_symptoms_does_kidney_cancer_show_in_the_body\"><\/span>What symptoms does kidney cancer show in the body?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The kidneys are located in a highly protected and wide area at the back of the abdominal cavity, right in front of the back muscles. Because of this wide space, a tumor developing in the kidney does not compress surrounding organs and generally does not cause any pain until it reaches a very large size. This causes the disease to progress extremely insidiously. However, as the disease advances or the tumor begins to disrupt the body&#8217;s chemical balance, some signals appear.<\/p>\n<p>The symptoms of the disease are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blood in the urine<\/li>\n<li>Flank pain<\/li>\n<li>A palpable mass in the abdomen<\/li>\n<li>Unexplained fever<\/li>\n<li>Persistent fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Unintended weight loss<\/li>\n<li>Night sweats<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Among these symptoms, the most striking and the one that must be taken into consideration is blood seen in the urine. Bleeding in the urine may sometimes appear as a clearly visible red or tea-colored fluid, while sometimes it can only be detected in microscopic urinalysis performed in the laboratory. As the tumor tissue inside the kidney grows, it creates bleeding that leaks into the urinary tract. Such bleeding is usually painless, but it is a harbinger of a serious problem in the kidney, bladder, or urinary tract that must definitely be investigated.<\/p>\n<p>Flank pain, on the other hand, occurs when the tumor stretches the kidney capsule significantly or exerts pressure on surrounding tissues. It is a constant and dull pain felt in the lower part of the ribs, between the back and the waist, and does not go away by changing position.<\/p>\n<p>Kidney tumors have another very interesting feature. Tumor cells sometimes secrete certain false substances that are very similar to the body&#8217;s normal hormones, but that completely disrupt the body&#8217;s balance. This condition is called paraneoplastic syndrome. Persistent fevers lasting for weeks despite there being no infection, dangerously increased calcium levels in the blood, excessive fatigue, weakness, and serious weight loss occurring in a very short time are the result of the chaos created in the body by these false hormones.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_imaging_methods_are_used_in_cases_of_suspected_kidney_cancer\"><\/span>Which imaging methods are used in cases of suspected kidney cancer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When a spot or mass is noticed in the kidney during an examination performed due to the patient&#8217;s complaints or completely incidentally, advanced radiological imaging devices are used to make a correct and definitive diagnosis. These devices reveal the exact structure of the mass by mapping the inside of the body without surgery.<\/p>\n<p>The imaging methods used are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ultrasonography<\/li>\n<li>Computed tomography<\/li>\n<li>Magnetic resonance imaging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ultrasonography is a completely painless method that works using sound waves and does not involve radiation. It is generally used as the first screening tool. It is quite successful in distinguishing whether a mass is just an innocent fluid-filled cyst or a solid tumor producing tissue. However, it generally does not provide enough detail on its own to determine the depth of the tumor, its relationship with vessels, and surgical planning.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, which is accepted as the gold standard, comes into play. During computed tomography, a special iodine-containing contrast agent is given through the patient&#8217;s vein. This substance reaches the kidneys through the bloodstream. Since cancer tissues generally have much more vascularization than normal kidney tissue, they absorb this substance very rapidly and shine on the computer screen almost like a light bulb. Thanks to tomography, the millimetric dimensions of the mass, its exact location in the kidney, and whether there is enlargement in the surrounding lymph nodes are displayed perfectly. The entire strategy of the surgery to be performed is planned based on these images.<\/p>\n<p>However, some patients may have kidney functions too weak to eliminate this iodine-containing agent from the body, or the patient may have a serious allergy to this agent. In such cases, magnetic resonance imaging comes into play. This method, which works with powerful magnets and radio waves, does not involve X-ray radiation. It provides extremely detailed and clear information, especially for understanding whether the tumor has entered the renal veins and whether it is creating an obstruction within the vessel.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-2128909834 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_351570843 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1975454413\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-881651918\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1896766392\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-color:rgb(36, 68, 148);border-radius:20px;border-width:3px 3px 3px 3px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-555755909\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-27255658\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div id=\"text-2044610993\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\r\n\r\n<strong>Contact us now to get detailed information about treatments and to make an appointment!<\/strong>\r\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-2044610993 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n  text-align: center;\n  color: #244494;\n}\n#text-2044610993 > * {\n  color: #244494;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-2044610993 {\n    text-align: left;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-27255658 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -20px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1868954360\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send\/?phone=905332737268\" class=\"button primary expand\" style=\"border-radius:20px;padding:10px 0px 10px 0px;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t<span>Contact via WhatsApp<\/span>\n\t<i class=\"icon-whatsapp\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1868954360 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -20px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1896766392 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 20px 20px 20px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-1896766392 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 20px 20px 0px 20px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1975454413 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_119908157\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-599802868\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-338890009\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_a_mass_biopsy_always_necessary_in_the_diagnosis_of_kidney_cancer\"><\/span>Is a mass biopsy always necessary in the diagnosis of kidney cancer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The general medical rule in cancer diagnoses is to take a small piece from suspicious tissue and examine it under the microscope. In many diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, or lung cancer, performing a biopsy before starting treatment is an absolute necessity. However, when it comes to kidney masses, the situation is quite different.<\/p>\n<p>Modern computed tomography and magnetic resonance devices today are advanced enough to distinguish whether a kidney mass is malignant with over ninety percent certainty. When a mass with cancerous characteristics, dense vascularization, and a solid structure is detected on imaging, the diagnosis is already largely established. At this point, instead of unnecessarily subjecting the patient to the stress of a biopsy and creating a risk of bleeding by puncturing the kidney with a needle, direct surgical intervention to completely clear that mass from the body is preferred. This removed mass is already sent as a whole to the pathology laboratory, and the exact cellular identity of the disease is determined there.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are special exceptions in which a biopsy is absolutely necessary and provides life-saving information. If the mass is very small, the patient is of very advanced age, and lying on the operating table poses a major risk in terms of the heart or lungs, a decision may be made to treat the mass only by freezing or burning it (ablation). Before this burning or freezing procedure, which will be performed by entering the body with needles, a biopsy is performed to know what the enemy inside is. Similarly, if unfortunately at the time of diagnosis the disease has spread beyond the kidney, for example to the lungs or bones, it is essential to know the exact cellular subtype of the tumor in order to determine the type of modern smart drugs to be started for the patient. In such cases, a tissue sample is safely taken from the mass with a thin needle under ultrasound or tomography guidance.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_the_stages_of_kidney_cancer_affect_the_decision_for_surgical_treatment\"><\/span>How do the stages of kidney cancer affect the decision for surgical treatment?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The size of the cancer and the degree of its spread in the body are the most important cornerstones of the treatment plan. The disease may be completely confined within the kidney, or it may have spread to surrounding tissues or reached distant organs through the bloodstream. In order to standardize this situation and offer the patient the most accurate treatment, staging systems accepted worldwide are used.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible to summarize the stages basically as follows. In the first stage, the tumor is only inside the kidney and is less than seven centimeters in diameter. This is the most treatable and least harmful period of the disease. In the second stage, the tumor still has not gone beyond the kidney, but its size has exceeded seven centimeters and it has begun to occupy more and more space inside the kidney. The third stage is the stage at which alarm bells begin to ring more loudly; the tumor has infiltrated the main vessels of the kidney or has begun to take root in the thick layer of fat that surrounds the kidney like a cushion. In the fourth and most advanced stage, cancer cells have completely pierced the membrane protecting the kidney and adhered to surrounding organs, or have traveled through the blood and lymph to distant areas such as the lungs, liver, or bones and established new colonies (metastases) there.<\/p>\n<p>When deciding what to do surgically, not only the size of the tumor but also its exact coordinates within the kidney are calculated. Is the mass located close to the outer surface of the kidney, growing almost outward, or is it situated in a dangerous region very close to the center of the kidney, the urinary collecting system, and the main vessels? To find the answer to these questions, a special scoring system is applied on radiological images. If the resulting score is low, removing only the tumor-bearing part of the kidney is much safer. However, if the mass is very deep and has a very high technical difficulty score, trying to remove only part of the kidney carries the risk of leaving cancerous tissue inside or causing very serious bleeding; in this case, a more extensive surgery is planned.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_non-surgical_treatment_options_in_small-sized_kidney_cancer_cases\"><\/span>What are the non-surgical treatment options in small-sized kidney cancer cases?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Especially with the spread of check-up programs and ultrasonography devices, many kidney masses with a size below four centimeters, or even below two centimeters, are being detected. The behavior of these small masses is quite different from that of large tumors. A large part of them grow extremely slowly, some stop growing completely for years, and in fact some are understood to be completely benign tissues when they are surgically removed.<\/p>\n<p>This reality has brought a whole new perspective for patients who are of advanced age, have serious cardiovascular diseases, have to use blood thinners, or already have borderline kidney function. In these patients, placing the patient on the operating table may carry much greater vital risks than the cancer itself. For this reason, very strong alternatives to surgery have been developed.<\/p>\n<p>The alternative methods that can be applied are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Active surveillance<\/li>\n<li>Radiofrequency ablation<\/li>\n<li>Cryotherapy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Active surveillance never means leaving the disease on its own or giving up treatment. This method is an extremely strict follow-up program applied to understand the character of the tumor. Ultrasonography or tomography is performed on the patient at regular intervals, and the growth rate of the mass is measured with millimetric precision. Many small masses remain the same size for years and do not harm the patient at all. However, if the mass shows a clear tendency to grow, surveillance is stopped at that point and active treatment is initiated. This method protects patients from the stress and potential complications of unnecessary surgeries.<\/p>\n<p>Ablation treatments, known as freezing or burning the mass, are interventions performed without putting the patient to sleep, only numbing the mass region. In cryotherapy, a special needle is inserted directly into the heart of the tumor, and the tumor tissue is frozen below minus forty degrees, causing the cancer cells to be destroyed by ice crystals. In the radiofrequency method, the mass is heated to high degrees using high-frequency sound waves, and the tissue is burned and destroyed. The greatest advantage of these procedures is that there is no incision in the patient&#8217;s body, the risk of bleeding remains minimal, and normal life can be resumed on the same day or the next day after the procedure.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-338890009 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_119908157 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1033194475\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1387070319\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-144812913\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-color:rgb(33, 37, 41);border-radius:20px;border-width:3px 3px 3px 3px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1445522722\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-21073259\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div id=\"text-2295134470\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\r\n\r\n<strong>Contact us now to get detailed information about treatments and to make an appointment!<\/strong>\r\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-2295134470 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n  text-align: center;\n  color: rgb(33, 37, 41);\n}\n#text-2295134470 > * {\n  color: rgb(33, 37, 41);\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-2295134470 {\n    text-align: left;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-21073259 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -20px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1069634531\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send\/?phone=905332737268\" class=\"button success expand\" style=\"border-radius:20px;padding:10px 0px 10px 0px;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t<span>Contact via WhatsApp<\/span>\n\t<i class=\"icon-whatsapp\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1069634531 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -20px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-144812913 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 20px 20px 20px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-144812913 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 20px 20px 0px 20px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1033194475 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_563509338\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-2139601554\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1683676331\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_are_the_kidney-preserving_gold_standard_surgeries_performed_in_the_treatment_of_kidney_cancer\"><\/span>How are the kidney-preserving gold standard surgeries performed in the treatment of kidney cancer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite all developments, the most effective, most definitive, and most permanent solution in the treatment of kidney cancer is the complete surgical removal of the cancerous tissue from the body. However, in modern surgical understanding, the aim is not only to eliminate the cancer; it is also to secure the patient&#8217;s quality of life in the following years. Although a person has two kidneys, unnecessarily removing one kidney completely may expose the patient to chronic kidney failure, heart disease, and even the risk of dialysis in the coming decades.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, in every technically possible situation, &#8220;nephron-sparing surgery,&#8221; that is, surgeries in which only the tumor-bearing part of the kidney is removed, are accepted as the gold standard. The aim in this procedure is like cleaning only the rotten part of a rotten apple and preserving the healthy part. The tumor is removed together with a thin layer of healthy kidney tissue around it, and the remaining healthy kidney cells continue their lives and continue filtering the blood.<\/p>\n<p>In order to perform this extremely delicate and complex surgery in the safest way possible, state-of-the-art robotic surgical systems are used today. Through half-centimeter small holes opened in the patient&#8217;s abdominal wall, high-resolution, three-dimensional cameras that can enlarge the image dozens of times are inserted. The surgeon sits at a console by the patient&#8217;s side and controls the robotic arms inside. These robotic arms move without tremor at angles too narrow for the human hand to reach and can rotate 360 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Since the kidney is an organ that receives very intense blood flow, severe bleeding must not occur while cutting the cancerous tissue. Therefore, just before removing the tumor, a temporary clamp is placed on the main artery pumping blood to the kidney. As soon as the blood flow stops, the tumor is separated from the main kidney very quickly and precisely. However, kidney tissue cannot tolerate lack of oxygen for too long. Medically, the golden rule is to keep the time during which this blood flow is cut off below twenty-five minutes. After the tumor is removed, the large opening created is tightly closed within minutes thanks to the incredible suturing speed of the robotic arms. As soon as the suturing is completed, the clamp on the vessel is removed, and the kidney fills with blood again, regaining its pink color. This method provides the patient with both excellent cancer control and the chance to preserve the organ with the least damage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_complete_removal_of_the_kidney_mandatory_in_advanced_kidney_cancer\"><\/span>When is complete removal of the kidney mandatory in advanced kidney cancer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although preserving the kidney is the most ideal goal, situations are also frequently encountered in which medical realities and the dimensions of the cancer do not allow this. Unfortunately, in some cases, the only way to save the patient&#8217;s life and completely clear the cancer is to remove the cancerous kidney completely from the body together with all surrounding tissues.<\/p>\n<p>If the tumor has reached a gigantic size, has occupied a large part of the kidney, and has left no healthy tissue behind that can be repaired, protective surgery becomes impossible. In addition, if the tumor is tightly attached directly to the main artery of the kidney or to the main collecting system where urine is collected, trying to peel the mass away from there may both cause the patient to be lost from bleeding on the table and definitely leave cancer cells inside. In such dangerous situations, no risk is taken, and the entire kidney is removed with the procedure called radical nephrectomy.<\/p>\n<p>Today, surgeries to remove the entire kidney are also performed not with very large open incisions but with closed (laparoscopic) methods. The abdomen is entered with the help of a camera, and the vessels feeding the kidney are safely tied and cut. The kidney is placed in a special and durable bag during surgery so that cancer cells do not spill into the abdomen. It is then removed whole through a small incision, generally close to the groin area, which will not create an aesthetic problem. When their kidney is removed, patients&#8217; greatest fears are that they will remain half a person or go on dialysis. However, the human body has a perfect balance. The remaining healthy kidney, the moment it senses the absence of the removed kidney, increases its capacity, grows a little more, and single-handedly performs all the filtering that two kidneys should do for life, flawlessly and without making the patient feel any deficiency.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_current_treatment_approaches_for_advanced-stage_kidney_cancer_that_has_spread_in_the_body\"><\/span>What are the current treatment approaches for advanced-stage kidney cancer that has spread in the body?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If, when the disease is diagnosed, cancer cells have broken away from the main kidney and settled in the lungs, bones, or liver through the blood or lymphatic pathways, then it is no longer a regional disease but a systemic disease involving the whole body. While options for patients at this stage were quite limited in past years, today, thanks to revolutionary developments in the medical world, even diseases at this stage have begun to turn into a manageable chronic disease form that can be kept under control for many years.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, surgery alone is not sufficient, and a multidisciplinary approach is essential. If the patient&#8217;s general health condition is good and the extent of the disease in the body is not excessive, the first step is to surgically remove the main tumor mass in the kidney. This is called tumor burden reduction surgery. The aim here is not to eliminate the cancer completely, but to close down the body&#8217;s largest cancer factory, allow the immune system to breathe, and strengthen the effect of the drugs to be given afterward.<\/p>\n<p>As for drug treatments, classic and exhausting chemotherapies are not very effective in kidney cancer. Instead, modern science uses targeted smart molecules and immunotherapy. Since cancer cells grow very rapidly, they constantly need new blood vessels. Smart drugs literally starve and choke the tumor by blocking its ability to form these new vessels. Immunotherapy agents, on the other hand, tear away the invisibility cloak that cancer has woven around itself. White blood cells, the soldiers of the immune system, suddenly begin to perceive cancer cells as enemies, and the body&#8217;s own defense system takes action to destroy the tumor from within. These innovative treatments are a very powerful source of hope for patients with advanced-stage disease.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_recovery_and_long-term_follow-up_process_like_after_kidney_cancer_surgery\"><\/span>What is the recovery and long-term follow-up process like after kidney cancer surgery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After a successful surgery, being discharged from the hospital means only that the first part of the treatment has been completed. Patients who undergo surgery with closed methods such as laparoscopy or robotics are generally mobilized the day after surgery and sent home within a few days. However, the body&#8217;s full internal healing and tissue recovery is a process that takes weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The most important point patients should pay attention to in the first weeks after returning home is to avoid movements that will increase intra-abdominal pressure. Lifting heavy objects, straining severely, or doing intense sports may damage the delicate internal sutures. For the remaining kidney tissue to be flushed, the urinary tract to be cleaned, and the filtering process to be facilitated, it is of vital importance that patients drink plenty of water in small sips throughout the day. During the recovery process, if sudden severe back pain, persistent fever, or fresh blood in the urine occurs, the surgical team should be contacted without delay.<\/p>\n<p>After the surgical wounds have healed, the really important part is long-term follow-up. Cancer is insidious and carries the risk of sprouting again years later from a small cell left behind. According to the detailed report from the pathology laboratory, the risk level of the disease is determined and a follow-up schedule is created accordingly. If the risk is low, ultrasonography or tomography and chest imaging once a year are sufficient, whereas if the tumor is large and aggressive, much stricter radiological screenings are performed every three or six months in the first years. In these follow-ups, not only the status of the cancer but also whether the remaining kidney is fulfilling its function is closely monitored by checking the creatinine level in the blood. When it is confirmed that the patient has completely recovered, that the kidney is functioning without problems, and that no complications have developed, the process is considered to have been successfully completed.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1683676331 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px
