There are three categories for nephrectomies, depending on the extent of surgical involvement, these include: simple, partial, and radical nephrectomy.
A simple nephrectomy refers to the surgical removal of the affected kidney and small segment of the proximal ureter. Diagnoses warranting this procedure can include benign conditions, such as: hematuria, recurrent urinary tract infections, nephrolithiasis, hydronephrosis, flank pain, or kidney donation[1][2].
A partial nephrectomy refers to the surgical removal of the pathologic portion of the kidney. Diagnoses warranting this procedure can include: chronic hydronephrosis, hypoplastic kidney, renovascular hypertension, or a double collecting system[3].
A radical nephrectomy refers to the surgical removal of the affected kidney, with surrounding perinephric fat, Gerota's fascia, proximal 2/3 of the ureter, and can additionally include paracaval or para-aortic lymphadenectomy[3]. Diagnoses warranting this procedure are usually renal cell carcinoma or a double collecting system. Of note, if there is tumor or thrombus involving the vena cava or right atrium an interprofessional team involving cardiac surgery may also be involved.
