Question 3

what are risks of having surgery to get a new kidney?

Accepted Answer

Risk in any surgery: All surgeries/procedures are inherently risky.  As with any surgery, there is a risk of wound infection, bleeding, pain and even death. However, because transplant surgery requires immunosuppression, the risk of developing infection is higher than other procedures.  Hence, potential kidney transplant recipients are extensively screened before being allowed to proceed with transplant surgery.

Question 4

is surgery always necessary for a kidney nodule?

Accepted Answer

: Not really.
If you use the term nodule which is usually a small solid renal mass less than 2 cm in diameter, you can choose observation especially if you ask this question for yourself.
Please discuss thoroughly with a urologist.

Question 5

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Surgery?: Most kidney abscesses can be treated by image guided intervention rather than surgery.  When done under ultrasound or ct guidance the procedure itself can take 15-30 minutes.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Surgery on Kidney: Kidney surgery can be performed through an open abdominal, flank or back incision, also percutaneous, laparoscopically, hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery or robot assisted surgery. Surgery can be reconstructive as repair for ureteropelvic junction obstruction + hydronephrosis, removal of part or entire kidney for kidney tumors or non-functioning or abcessed kidney, or percutaneous stone removal.

Question 8

just wondering how i can prepare for an open kidney surgery?

Accepted Answer

Be healthy: It is important to be as healthy as you can be before any major surgery.  Usually the surgeon will do a number of imaging studies to get prepared and know your blood vessel anatomy.  You will also need to be cleared regarding your lungs and heart to be sure it is safe to proceed.  Keep a good attitude and stay upbeat. Avoid alcohol and other medications that cause bleeding or thin the blood.

Question 9

is it normal to gain significant amount of weight after kidney surgery?

Accepted Answer

No: It is not common to gain weight after kidney surgery. The most common reason would be from all the IV fluid received during the procedure and while in the hospital. Without knowing more details about the surgery it is hard to give a more specific answer.
